Abstract

The maxillary labial frenum develops as a post-eruptive remnant of the ectolabial bands which connect the tubercle of the upper lip to the palatine papilla. The frenulum is considered pathogenic and is considered for removal if there is an aberrant frenal attachment causing a midline diastema. The present case report involves the conventional/scalpel technique through excision of the frenum by using a scalpel.
