Abstract

The frenum is a normal anatomical landmark in the oral cavity which attaches the lip and the cheek to the alveolar mucosa, gingiva and the underlying periosteum. At times, frenal attachment may pose problems to the health of the gingiva either due to interference in the plaque control or due to a muscle pull and needs to be managed. This case series demonstrates the surgical removal of aberrant frenum using conventional technique of frenectomy.
