Frenectomy Combined with A Laterally Positioned Graft: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Frenectomy is a common periodontal plastic surgical procedure used to relocate or eliminate an aberrant frenum to create a zone of attached gingiva. Often the loss of the interdental papilla between the maxillary incisors during the classical frenectomy creates an unacceptable esthetic result. Case report: A surgical technique combining a frenectomy with a laterally positioned graft is presented. Closure across the midline by laterally positioning gingiva and healing by primary intention results in attached gingiva across the midline. Conclusion: The esthetic result is superior to that obtained with the classic frenectomy technique.
