The frenulus is a thin thread of muscles and fibres coated with a mucosa thatruns from the alveolar mucosa to the muco-gingival joint line (vestibular frenulus) and from the ventral face of the tongue to the lower part of the mouth (lingual frenulus).
Performing a frenectomy means to partially remove the frenulus or to relocate it elsewhere.
This intervention ha s the aim of improving the stability of the teeth or of alleviating the traction downwards exerted by a short lingual frenulus.
Usually this intervention is performed on very young patients and for this reason laser turns out to be the most appropriate choice.
The patient that undergoes a laser treatment does not feel any pain; in case of need an anesthetic gel can be applied on the frenulus surface.
The irradiated tissue is instantly vaporised, whereas the operating field is bloodless (this facct also helps to make the patient more collaborative).
The post operative recovery takes place easily and fast without any stitches
