A phrenectomy (also known as frenulectomy or frenotomy ) is the removal of the frenulum, a small fold of tissue that prevents the organs from moving too far. It can refer to the frenula in some places in the human body. It is associated with frenuloplasty, surgical changes in the frenulum. Done mostly for orthodontic purposes, a frenectomy is performed in the middle of the upper lip, called the labial frenectomy, or under the tongue, called the lingual frenectomy. Frenectomy is a very common dental procedure performed on infants, children, and adults. A similar procedure of frenulotomy is where a tight frenulum can be reduced by making an incision in a tight tissue.
There are several frenules associated with this type of frenectomy:
- Genital frenectomy may be performed to remove frenulums from the genitalia
- Lingual frenectomy (tongue) as a treatment for ankyloglossia Labial physiectomy (lips) is very common in patients undergoing denture treatment to obtain appropriate dentures or patients who have tissue attached to the center of the upper lip and cause recession of the gums or gaps between the upper front teeth. called central incisors.
- A frenectomy may also be performed to remove a portion of tissue (frenulum) attached to the gingival tissue between two teeth.

Laser frenectomy with surgical laser CO 2
Frenectomy can be released safely and efficiently with soft tissue 10,600Ã, nm CO 2 lasers with predictable and repeated network responses, rapid ablation and instant hemostasis. True cuts, minimal collateral damage, a clear and non-bleed operation field, make the CO 2 laser a good choice for frenectomy procedures. The oral laser surgery CO 2 also has fewer wound contractions and reduces scarring or fibrosis when compared to a scalpel incision.
