Management of Papilla Penetrating Frenum Using Z-plasty Technique - A Case Report
Abstract
Frenectomy is a surgical procedure that is commonly used to address issues related to the frenulum which can affect speech and can cause midline diastema which looks unesthetic. Z-plasty is a modification of the standard frenectomy procedure to reposition the frenulum and improve outcomes. This article provides an overview of frenectomy by using Z-plasty, including the procedure in detail, potential risks and complications, and a discussion of its clinical applications and outcomes.
