“…This approach was advocated in the midline diastema cases with an aberrant frenum to ensure the removal of the muscle fibres. 8 A frenum is evaluated in relation to vestibular depth, zone of attached gingiva, interdental papilla, and diastema. If there is an adequate zone of attached gingiva, coronal to the frenum, it is of no clinical significance.…”

The frenum is a fold of mucous membrane that attaches the lip and the cheek to the alveolar mucosa, the gingiva and the underlying periosteum. An aberrant frenum may results in gingival recession, decreased range of lip movement and involvement of interdental papilla causing a diastema leading to compromised esthetic and functional needs of the patient and they may also interfere with oral hygiene. Maxillary midline diastema is a common esthetic problem of patients which adversely affects body image and self-esteem, especially in adults. Often, patients are more conscious about the spaces between front teeth and seek treatment for the same. One of the commonest reason for midline diastema is aberrant frenum. The muscle pull of the aberrant frenum pushes the central incisors away from each other. Before correcting the space, removal of the cause is of utmost importance. Therefore, frenectomy is performed before proceeding with the space closure treatment. Frenectomy is thus defined as complete elimination of the frenum and its attachment. This article consists of two case reports on classis or conventional frenectomy.

“…The interdental papilla is not destroyed because the trans-septal fibers are not surgically disturbed. The secondary suture also produced midline gingiva that were similar and had a good color match (7,9). There are differences in the timing of frenectomy when using an orthodontic method to correct a midline diastema.…”

“…There is frenectomy using conventional (classical), electrosurgery, laser, V-Y, Z plasty, and Miller's technique. The conventional method is still an acceptable alternative to frecentomy for orthodontic treatment (7). The advantages of this method are that it provides orthodontic stability without sacrificing aesthetics.…”

Background: A space between the anterior teeth and midline diastema is really important for aesthetic concerns in adolescents. Midline diastema may be related to high frenal attachment. Frenectomy is a treatment option for high frenal attachment. The entire removal of the frenum may be followed by orthodontic treatment. Case Presentation: A female 16-year-old patient complained of feeling embarrassed because of a gap in her front teeth. A frenectomy with orthodontic treatment is used to correct midline diastema. A frenectomy procedure uses conventional technique. The Straight Wire Technique (SWT) technique for orthodontic treatment. Midline diastema is complete correction at the 3rd control. Conclusion: Frenectomy before orthodontic treatment, followed by a medium-anchored Straight Wire Technique (SWT) with an elastromic chain or power chain, can be an alternative technique with a short duration.

Frenum morphology is of pivotal concern while treating patients who desire improved aesthetics and for treating patients with midline diastemas, as it may lead to failure or relapse of orthodontic treatment. Frenum, a thick band of muscle fiber, may present with abnormalities in the shape, size, form, number, and thickness, which may cause gingival recession along with poor oral health. Frenectomy is adopted as the plan of action while treating abnormal frenum cases by resecting the frenum attachment to provide closure of the spacing between the upper anterior teeth, as in the case of midline diastema. Various forms and techniques of frenectomy have been adopted according to the type of frenum attachment and aesthetic concerns of the patients. Amidst the various treatment options available, conventional frenectomy using a scalpel has emerged as a viable solution for treating patients. The surgeons value and praise its exceptional precision and ease of use, and the patients prefer it for its affordability; hence, a functional and aesthetic outcome is achieved via this treatment. This report provides a comprehensive overview of a case of conventional frenectomy with a one-week follow-up.
