“…Secondary intention healing occurred because the gingiva can't closed completely [10]. Conventional technique results in a longitudinal surgical incision and scarring, that lead to various periodontal problems, scars and an unaesthetic appearance [11]. A number of modifications surgical techniques for removal of aberrant frenum including Miller's technique, V-Y plasty and Z-plasty, electrosurgery, lasers diode, carbon dioxide, Nd:YAG, Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG.…”

Background: Midline diastema in the maxillary is very common aesthetics problem in mixed and early permanent dentition, one of which etiology is aberrant frenum attachment. High frenum attachment might interfere with aesthetics, plaque control, and create mucogingival deformities, therefore compromising orthodontic result and causing recurrence. Several treatments for maxillary midline diastema are available, one of which is labial frenectomy. Objective: To present a case report of frenectomy as a mean of eliminating maxillary midline diastema. Case: This is a case report of a 25 years old female patient with high frenum attachment causing maxillary midline diastema. Patient was treated with frenectomy afterward. Frenectomy is a complete removal of frenum, including the attachment to the underlying bone. Following the treatment, midline diastema closure was showed in 4 months following frenectomy. Conclusions: Frenectomy is a potential alternative for treatment of maxillary midline diastema.

“…Heat produced by the laser makes small blood vessels and lymphatic vessels impassable thus reducing or eliminating blood flow and edema. [ 12 ] Thus controlled bleeding enables the surgeon to perform the operative procedure with ease and better visibility. The heat generated from the laser beam seals the sensory nerve endings which are responsible for the decreased or an absent post-operative pain.…”

“…They concluded that the diode laser demonstrated negligible bleeding and a precise incision, lowered edema and scarring, reduced pain, faster healing response, and enhanced patient appreciation after analyzing both procedures. [ 12 ]…”

Aim: This is an era of minimally invasive and least traumatic surgical interventions being focused on. The traditional scalpel frenectomy technique offers an increase in post-operative sequelae. To unravel this scenario a comparative evaluation is carried out to find out the clinical outcomes and quality of life after maxillary labial frenectomy using a conventional scalpel and diode laser frenectomy of 980 nm. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six subjects age ranging between 18 and 45 years reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, MES Dental College, Perinthalmanna with an aberrant frenal attachment of maxillary labial frenum were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A underwent the conventional scalpel technique and group B for the diode laser-assisted (980 nm) frenectomy technique. The post-operative parameters of ooze from the surgical site, pain, wound healing, and discomfort or acceptance of the procedure were assessed on day 1, day 7, and day 14, respectively. Results: The diode laser group exhibited statistically significant clinical and healing outcomes. Less pain, minimal or absent ooze, increased healing, and better acceptance of the procedure with diode laser at 1, 7, and 14 days recall visit. Conclusion: Surgical interventions involving needle puncture and the associated post-operative sequelae are the most dreaded experiences that make patients indifferent toward surgical treatments. Thus in terms of better clinical outcomes and improved quality of life diode laser frenectomy is an excellent alternative wherein a needleless anesthetic success followed by minimal surgical intervention and less post-operative sequelae with fast recovery is possible.
