Management Using V-Y Plasty Approach for Abnormal Frenal Attachment: A Case Report.
Curēus 2024 April
The mucous membrane fold, which facilitates the attachment of the gingiva, alveolar mucosa, and the periosteum surrounding the lips and cheek, is known as the frenum. The frenal attachment at the gingival or papillary level may comprise periodontal health due to difficulty with plaque adherence or muscle pull. The management of such aberrant frenal attachment becomes necessary to avoid the associated future problems, such as midline diastema and periodontal attachment loss, which might lead to aesthetic problems and tooth mobility. The treatment modalities involve frenectomy using Miller's technique, conventional technique, Z-plasty, and V-Y plasty types of frenectomy procedures. The patient's requirements, specific indications, and intended results determine the method. This case report illustrates the utilisation of the V-Y plasty technique for the frenectomy of a papillary-type labial frenal attachment in a 19-year-old female patient. V-Y plasty proved to be an efficient technique for removing the aberrant labial frenum attachment, and the results were highly satisfactory, with less scar formation. V-Y plasty is reliable for covering defects and elongating the frenum area, giving desired clinical outcomes.
