“…[17][18][19][20] Other several studies evaluated that to compare lasers in the soft tissue surgical procedures with conventional surgery in young patients during orthodontic treatment but in this study we evaluated and compared this two type surgical procedure in adult patients needing cosmetic smile position gingivectomy. 9,12,16,21 Therefore, there is no study in the literature similar to this study.…”

“…[17][18][19] Most of the patients in test group, surgery were performed without anesthesia but almost all patients in control group were injected infiltrative anesthesia. 20,21 Conventional surgical have caused some problems like: surgical trauma, bleeding during surgery, postoperative pain and swelling, low satisfaction of patient. These problems can handle more easily with lasers.…”

“…In dentistry, it is generally preferred for resective gingival/mucosal surgeries such as frenectomy, gingivectomy, gingivoplasty and epulis fissuratum [9][10][11][12][13] , and oral lesions such as leukoplakia, oral lichen planus and mucous membrane pemphigoid.

Özet: Bu çalışmada konvansiyonel veya diyot lazer cerrahisi ile yapılan frenektomi işlemi sonrası konuşma ve çiğneme güçlüğü ile ağrı, VAS skalası ile değerlendirilmiştir. Diyot lazer ile yapılan frenektomi işleminin konvansiyonel cerrahiye göre daha ağrısız, daha konforlu ve hasta açısından daha tolere edilebilir bir yöntem olduğu bulunmuştur. Material-method:In this study, in totally 74 patients frenectomy procedure was indicated. 39 patients had frenectomy performed with conventional surgery (Group C) and 35 patients had frenectomy performed with laser surgery (Group L). None of the patients had systemic disease or any prescribed drug use. A VAS scale was prepared in order to evaluate pain and discomfort in speaking and chewing. All patients were informed about how to fill the form in detail and a form was given to each patient. All patients were recalled at 10 th day and VAS scale forms were recollected.Results: There were no significant differences in demographic data of the groups (p>0.05).Pain was found to be significantly higher in conventional group (p<0.05). Likewise, discomfort in speaking and chewing was also significantly lower in laser surgery group than conventional surgery (p<0.05). Conclusion:Diode laser frenectomy procedure caused lower pain and discomfort in speaking and chewing, and within the limitations of this study, based on these results it can be concluded that diode laser surgery had beneficial results in frenectomy procedure.

“…The use of electro surgery and lasers has also been proposed for frenectomy [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Researchers have advocated the use of an electrocautery probe due to its efficacy and due to the safety of the procedure, the mild bleeding and the absence of postoperative complications.…”

The frenum is a mucous membrane fold that attaches the lip and the cheek to the alveolar mucosa, the gingiva, and the underlying periosteum. The frena may jeopardize the gingival health when they are attached too closely to the gingival margin, either due to an interference in the plaque control or due to a muscle pull. In addition to this, the maxillary frenum may present aesthetic problems or compromise the orthodontic result in the midline diastema cases, thus causing a recurrence after the treatment.The management of such an aberrant frenum is accomplished by performing a frenectomy.The present article is a compilation of a brief overview about the frenum, with a focus on the indications, contraindications, advantages and the disadvantages of various frenectomy techniques, like Miller's technique, V-Y plasty, Z-plasty and frenectomy by using electrocautery. A series of clinical cases of frenectomy which were approached by various techniques have also been reported.
