Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

High frenum attachment in the anterior mandible can cause gingival recession. A frenuloplasty procedure led to complete root coverage and significant tissue gain in just 10 days, avoiding further surgery.

Area of Science:

Periodontology
Oral surgery

Background:

Gingival recession in the mandibular incisors is often linked to high frenum attachments.
This condition is frequently associated with inadequate keratinized tissue and a lack of attached gingiva.

Observation:

A patient with Cairo Recession Type 2 (RT2) and minimal keratinized tissue on mandibular central incisors underwent frenuloplasty using a scalpel technique.
The procedure addressed a high frenum attachment in the anterior mandible.

Findings:

Creeping attachment of 1.0 mm was observed as early as 10 days post-surgery.
Complete root coverage and closure of the interproximal space between teeth #24 and #25 were achieved.
The results remained stable at the 6-month follow-up.

Implications:

Frenuloplasty can be an effective treatment for gingival recession caused by high frenum attachments.
This technique may prevent the need for secondary soft tissue grafting procedures.
Achieving complete root coverage and stability highlights the potential for minimally invasive surgical success.
