A 6‐Year Follow‐Up Treatment of a Complication Following Frenectomy: A Case Report

Abstract

ABSTRACT Suboptimal incision lines and a bone dehiscence exposure complicated the surgical outcome following a mandibular frenectomy in a previously orthodontically treated patient. The case report describes the surgical intervention used to treat the complication and documents the long‐term stability of periodontal health, complete root coverage, and thick gingival phenotype status.
