Abstract:

 Background: High attachment of labial frenulum causes central diastema and obstructs the movement of orthodontic devices. A surgical approach is needed in the form of frenectomy to improve the attachment of the frenulum. The presence of gingival hyperpigmentation due to excessive deposition of melanin is also an aesthetic problem. This hyperpigmented and uneven appearance of gum color can be corrected by ablation procedures, one of which is by using a scalpel scraping technique.
