Frenum morphology is of pivotal concern while treating patients who desire improved aesthetics and for treating patients with midline diastemas, as it may lead to failure or relapse of orthodontic treatment. Frenum, a thick band of muscle fiber, may present with abnormalities in the shape, size, form, number, and thickness, which may cause gingival recession along with poor oral health. Frenectomy is adopted as the plan of action while treating abnormal frenum cases by resecting the frenum attachment to provide closure of the spacing between the upper anterior teeth, as in the case of midline diastema. Various forms and techniques of frenectomy have been adopted according to the type of frenum attachment and aesthetic concerns of the patients. Amidst the various treatment options available, conventional frenectomy using a scalpel has emerged as a viable solution for treating patients. The surgeons value and praise its exceptional precision and ease of use, and the patients prefer it for its affordability; hence, a functional and aesthetic outcome is achieved via this treatment. This report provides a comprehensive overview of a case of conventional frenectomy with a one-week follow-up.
在治疗期望改善美观的患者以及患有中线牙缝的患者时，系带形态是至关重要的关注点，因为它可能导致正畸治疗失败或复发。系带是一束厚厚的肌纤维带，其形状、大小、形态、数量和厚度可能出现异常，这可能导致牙龈退缩以及口腔健康不佳。在治疗异常系带病例时，采用系带切除术作为治疗方案，即切除系带附着处，以关闭上前牙之间的间隙，如中线牙缝的情况。根据系带附着类型和患者的美观需求，已经采用了各种形式和技术的系带切除术。在现有的各种治疗选择中，使用手术刀的传统系带切除术已成为治疗患者的可行解决方案。外科医生重视并称赞其卓越的精确性和易用性，患者因其价格实惠而青睐它；因此，通过这种治疗可实现功能和美观的效果。本报告全面概述了一例传统系带切除术及一周随访情况。
