Abstract

Reporting some cases and literature researches, the Authors point out the indications of labial frenum therapy. The results show no correlations between teeth diastema and frenum: surgical therapy of frenum is recommended after complete eruption of permanent teeth. The correct surgical procedure must be radical and conducted in a short time: frenectomy prolonged to the incisive papilla, is recommended.
