Labial frenectomy

Labial frenectomy

Simple excision of the maxillary labial frenum. (A–B) Eversion and exposure of the frenal attachment area. (C–D) Excision along the lateral margins of the frenum. Tissue is removed, exposing underlying periosteum. (E–F) Placement of the suture through mucosal margins and periosteum, which closes the mucosal margin and sutures mucosa to the periosteum at the depth of the vestibule. (G–H) Wound closure. Removal of tissue in areas adjacent to attached mucosa sometimes prevents complete primary closure at the most inferior aspect of wound margin.
