| Summary: | Frenum or Frenulum is defined by Miller as a
membrane joining two parts that causes movement limitation. Oral cavity frenums
are : 1) labial frenums of maxilla and mandible which are also known as inhibition
of lips. 2) lingual frenum of tongue located between central incisors 3) frenum
in mandibular premolar area. Frenum can be one or double layered. If The
attachment located in gingival line and alveolar mucosa and attached gingival,
no complication is anticipated while higher locations to free gingival
directions, it would be a high frenum that can cause periodontal and
orthodontic complications and treatment relapse. Complete evaluation on bone
destructions in central incisors area, diasthema and teeth mobility related to
frenum should be carried out.
