Slim V-Shaped Frenectomy: Description of a Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique
This article introduces a minimally invasive slim V-shaped surgical technique for labial frenectomy, specifically targeting high labial frenulum attachment. Proper frenulum management is critical in dental specialties, influencing aesthetics, phonetics, and prosthetic rehabilitation outcomes. The described technique is adaptable to various types of labial frenulum, including mucosal, gingival, papillary, and papilla penetrating. It involves a slim V-shaped incision, consecutive frenulum detachment, and repositioning within the vestibule, effectively addressing potential recurrence growth. Its minimally invasive nature reduces wound expansion into neighboring structures, ensuring optimal healing and minimizing postoperative discomfort. In conclusion, the slim V-shaped surgical technique offers a promising solution, minimizing complications and maximizing treatment success for high labial frenulum attachment.
