Labial Frenectomy with the Sapphire

Portable Diode Laser:

(and Frenotomy procedures)

Tip: Initiated

Mode: Continuous Wave

Power: 1.0 W

Anesthesia: Local, as required

Technique: Contact

The procedures to relieve the frenum will differ for three basic areas: 1) Mandibular frenum – labial or buccal; 2)

Mandibular frenum – lingual (tongue-tied relief); 3) Maxillary frenum – labial and buccal.

Mandibular labial frenum attachments:

1. Place tension on the frenum by retracting the lip or cheek.

2. Beginning at the base of the attachment to the gingival tissue, make an

incision with the Sapphire Portable Diode Laser that is perpendicular to the

length of the frenum.

3. If necessary to achieve desired results, increase power level but always use

the lowest amount of power necessary to reach the treatment objectives and

avoid charring tissue.

4. Using continued tension, extend the incision until you are nearing

the periosteum.

Note: Do not cut into or damage the periosteum.

5. The incision may need to extend laterally when there is a wide attachment.

6. Wipe the debris from the hard and soft tissues using hydrogen peroxide or

warm saline solution.

Note: Sutures are usually not required.

Lingual frenum:

Lingual frenum relief must be approached with caution to ensure that you do not

inadvertently rupture or incise the rich vascular beds in the ﬂoor of the mouth and

the inferior border of the tongue.
