Background: Midline diastema in the maxillary is very common aesthetics problem in mixed and early permanent dentition, one of which etiology is aberrant frenum attachment. High frenum attachment might interfere with aesthetics, plaque control, and create mucogingival deformities, therefore compromising orthodontic result and causing recurrence. Several treatments for maxillary midline diastema are available, one of which is labial frenectomy.
Objective: To present a case report of frenectomy as a mean of eliminating maxillary midline diastema.
Case: This is a case report of a 25 years old female patient with high frenum attachment causing maxillary midline diastema. Patient was treated with frenectomy afterward. Frenectomy is a complete removal of frenum, including the attachment to the underlying bone. Following the treatment, midline diastema closure was showed in 4 months following frenectomy.
Conclusions: Frenectomy is a potential alternative for treatment of maxillary midline diastema.
