Labial frena and frenectomy: Clinica consideration [Frenuli labiali e frenulectomie: considerazioni cliniche]

Abstract Frenectomy is one of the most debated topic in dentistry. Its importance is due to the occurrence of many clinical conditions where a frenum may be considered pathological. The aim of this literature review is to establish clinical indications of frenectomy according to aesthetical, functional, orthodontic and periodontal evaluations. The Authors found that many studies showed sucb different conclusions so that it was impossible to draw specific guide lines for frenectomy. The Authors conclude that literature data can help clinicians in choosing treatment but any single case must be individually evaluated.
