Janardhana Amaranath B.J., Rashi Gupta, Shruti Gupta, Anishka Dhanai
Abstract
This case report presents the successful management of a 19-year-old male patient with gingival overgrowth and abnormal frenum attachment in the upper anterior tooth region. The patient sought intervention due to aesthetic concerns and difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene. The treatment plan involved gingivectomy to remove excess gingival tissue and frenectomy to correct the abnormal frenum attachment. Under local anaesthesia, precise surgical excision was performed, followed by post-operative care. The patient experienced satisfactory healing and reported improved aesthetics and oral hygiene maintenance during follow-up examinations. This case underscores the effectiveness of gingivectomy and frenectomy in addressing aesthetic and functional concerns in young individuals and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between periodontists and orthodontists.
