Popis: Unfortunately, we have not kept records, which would justify publication under the critical eye of the statistician, on the subject of frenectomy. Nonetheless, I believe the fact that we have not seen a single case in this clinic in over 14 years where we felt justified in interfering surgically supports our strong clinical conviction against this operation. We have not closed our minds completely but are convinced that in most cases the diastema existing between the superior central incisors is an inherent congenital pattern rather than a developmental accident due to the insertion of the frenulum.
