Abstract

The frenum connects the lip and cheek to the alveolar mucosa, gingiva, and the periosteum beneath it. If the frenum is adhered to the gingival margin too closely, it could hamper the health of the gingiva. Tissue tension caused by frenulum attached close to the gingival margin may aid in the development of gingival recessions. Moreover, mandibular labial frenum attachment causes aesthetic problems or obstructs the desired aesthetic outcome and can be removed by frenectomy. The present case study deals with the removal of mandibular labial frenum attachment by electrocautery.
