Summary

The frenulum is a mucosal fold that connects the lips and cheeks to the alveolar mucosa or gingiva, with abnormal attachments-particularly papillary and papillary-penetrating types-linked to clinical issues such as gingival recession, diastema, and oral hygiene difficulties. Frenectomy, the complete removal of the frenulum, can be performed using traditional scalpel techniques or soft tissue lasers like Er:YAG, which offers precise cutting with minimal thermal damage. While laser surgery reduces pain and promotes faster healing, it requires careful control and involves higher costs. Postoperative care often includes chlorhexidine-based agents due to their antimicrobial and healing-promoting properties; combinations like Klorhex Plus (chlorhexidine digluconate and flurbiprofen) have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing edema and enhancing wound healing.
