Abstrakt:	Frenum morphology is of pivotal concern while treating patients who desire improved aesthetics and for treating patients with midline diastemas, as it may lead to failure or relapse of orthodontic treatment. Frenum, a thick band of muscle fiber, may present with abnormalities in the shape, size, form, number, and thickness, which may cause gingival recession along with poor oral health. Frenectomy is adopted as the plan of action while treating abnormal frenum cases by resecting the frenum attachment to provide closure of the spacing between the upper anterior teeth, as in the case of midline diastema. Various forms and techniques of frenectomy have been adopted according to the type of frenum attachment and aesthetic concerns of the patients. Amidst the various treatment options available, conventional frenectomy using a scalpel has emerged as a viable solution for treating patients. The surgeons value and praise its exceptional precision and ease of use, and the patients prefer it for its affordability; hence, a functional and aesthetic outcome is achieved via this treatment. This report provides a comprehensive overview of a case of conventional frenectomy with a one-week follow-up.
