Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Frenum morphology is critical in orthodontics, particularly for midline diastema cases, as abnormalities can cause treatment failure or relapse.
  • Abnormal frenum characteristics (shape, size, form, number, thickness) can lead to gingival recession and poor oral health.

Observation:

  • Frenectomy, the surgical resection of abnormal frenum attachments, is a common treatment.
  • Conventional frenectomy utilizing a scalpel is a widely adopted technique.

Findings:

  • Scalpel frenectomy offers high precision and ease of use for surgeons.
  • Patients benefit from the affordability of conventional frenectomy, achieving functional and aesthetic results.

Implications:

  • Conventional frenectomy is a viable and effective treatment for abnormal frenum cases.
