“…Frenectomy is the complete removal of the frenum including its attachment to the underlying bone, while frenotomy is the incision and the relocation of the frenal attachment . [14] Frenectomy can be accomplished either by the routine scalpel technique, electrosurgery, or by using lasers. [15] The conventional technique involves the excision of the frenum by using a scalpel.…”

“…When there is a decreased vestibular depth and an inadequate width of the attached gingiva, mandibular frenum is considered as aberrant. 1,3 Frenum has been classified by Placek et al (1974) depending upon the extension of the attachment fibers as: 4 1. Mucosal -here the frenal fibers are attached to the mucogingival junction 2.…”

The Aberrant labial frenum results in diastema and gingival recession thereby compromising the esthetic and functional needs of the patient. There are various procedure for the treatment of the aberrant frenum. The classical frenctomy technique by Archer is an extensive procedure which results in Unesthetic scaring of the tissue, loss of interdental papilla. To overcome these drawbacks, Miller introduced a newer technique where he combined the frencetomy technique with laterally displaced flap. The main advantage of this technique is that the healing takes place by primary intention with no scaring of the tissue. This article is a case report on frenectomy with laterally displaced flap (Millers technique).

Background : High frenum is very common in function and esthetics. It is manage by procedure such as frenectomy and frenotomy. Most common is the conventional frenectomy which is done by the use of scalpel, now a day's laser is widely spread and can be used to perform surgeries. Aim of the study: To compare the degree of postoperative pain experienced by patients during frenectomy procedure with surgical scalpel and diode laser technique. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 patients with the age range from 16-40 years old had participated in this study, they were all Systemically healthy, nonsmoker and who required labial frenectomy. That were divided into two groups. Group l includes 10 patients in which frenulectomy was done using the diode laser. Group ll with 10 patients in which scalpel had been used to perform conventional frenectomy. Parameters such as pain is evaluated at intervals of 1week, & 1 month. Results: Intergroup comparison of the mean VAS scores for discomfort and pain for both the groups showed significant difference between the groups. Patients treated with the diode laser had less postoperative pain and required fewer analgesics as compared to patients treated with the conventional scalpel technique. Conclusion:Based on this study outcome, the diode laser is a dependable alternative as it is an efficient and satisfactory option for procedures like frenectomy.
