Maxillary Labial Double Frenum Frenectomy Using a Diode Laser: A Case Report

Maxillary labial frenectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing midline diastema, where a strip of tissue creating a gap between two upper front teeth is removed. Typically, this strip extends from the vestibule of the gingivobuccal sulcus to the attached gingiva. The procedure is often performed using a diode laser, offering benefits including simplicity and safety for the patients. It can remarkably improve overall aesthetics and decrease the chances of gingival recession. This case report highlights the successful management of a female patient who arrived complaining of double frenum attachment leading to poor musculature support due to which she experiences poor aesthetics and hampered oral hygiene maintenance.
