Abstract

Objective : In this article, we would like to present the case management and the results obtained from an elevated frenulum combined with gingival enlargement in the midline palatal area of the maxillary central incisor. Methods: A female patient aged 24 came to RSGM UNAIR with a complaint that there was a distance between her upper front teeth that interfered with her appearance and wanted to be straightened. In the upper jaw, the patient complains of getting stuck in food too. The patient wanted treatment because after that he wanted braces treatment. The patient admitted that he had put braces on in February 2021 at the dentist and a few moments later the upper front gums were swollen and red, then the braces were removed. The last patient cleaned tartar a year ago. The patient admitted that he regularly brushes his teeth 2 times a day while bathing and that his gums sometimes bleed. Results: The surgical procedure for raising the frenulum was also approved by the patient for gingivectomy in the palatal area of the maxillary midline incisors. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Control was carried out 14 days after the procedure to remove the sutures, and 1 month for monitoring, the patient did not complain of pain and there were no complaints of food being stuck between the maxillary incisors. Conclusion: management of high frenulum with frenectomy, needs to be done to prevent the continuation of diastema as well as gingival enlargement in the patient's palatal area. patients are satisfied with the results of the treatment and it is easier to clean their teeth.
