Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the advantages of the use of diode laser to removal inferior labial frenum. Methods: The treatment with the diode laser was proposed to a female patient of 32 years old in good general health having an abnormal inferior labial frenum that causes retracting of the gingival margin. The incision was carried out with diode laser at a wavelength of 940 nm and was removed the frenum mucosa and the deep tissue constitute of connective fiber and muscle fiber. Before the surgery wasn’t used the local anesthetic and after the cutting wasn’t necessary the use of suture. Results: The wound had a good healing without scar. The patient didn’t have pain and bleeding during the healing and she didn’t report complications. It wasn’t necessary the use of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. Conclusions: The use of lasers has proved effective in the removal of labial frenum because it offers several advantages for the patient than traditional surgery.
