    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Frenectomy with a free graft effectively addresses unfavorable frenum attachments. This predictable procedure enhances the success of complete or partial dentures.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral surgery
    • Prosthodontics
    • Periodontology

    Background:

    • Unfavorable frenum attachments can negatively impact denture stability and patient comfort.
    • Conventional denture fabrication may be compromised by aberrant frenal pull.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of frenectomy combined with a free graft procedure.
    • To determine if this surgical technique improves denture prognosis in patients with unfavorable frenum.
    • To assess the predictability of the combined surgical approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical intervention involving frenectomy to release aberrant frenal attachments.
    • Placement of a free graft to reconstruct the alveolar ridge and vestibule.
    • Fabrication and fitting of complete or partial dentures post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • The frenectomy plus free graft technique demonstrated efficiency in managing unfavorable frenum.
    • The procedure was predictable in improving the conditions for denture support.
    • Enhanced denture prognosis was observed following the surgical intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • Frenectomy with a free graft is an effective and predictable solution for unfavorable frenum.
    • This surgical approach significantly improves the prognosis for complete and partial denture wearers.
    • The technique offers a reliable method to overcome anatomical limitations for better denture outcomes.
