Summary

This randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to compare postoperative outcames of conventional scalpel frenectomy and diode laser frenectomy with or without adjunctive photobiomodulation therapy. Postoperative pain, speech difficulty, chewing difficulty, analgesic consumption, and oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-14) were evaluated.

Conditions

  • Frenulum; Hypertrophy, Lip

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Scalpel Frenectomy

Conventional frenectomy performed using a surgical scalpel for the treatment of aberrant maxillary labial frenulum.

PROCEDURE

Diode Laser Frenectomy

Frenectomy performed using an 810-nm diode laser for the treatment of aberrant maxillary labial frenulum.

DEVICE

Photobiomodulation Therapy

Low-level laser therapy applied postoperatively to enhance wound healing and reduce postoperative pain and discomfort.
