Oral frenulum thick

Introduction The labial ligament is attached to the labial ligament between the medial incisors and the alveolar mucosa. The lip ligament is quite large during the embryonic period, and most of the babies will gradually retreat after birth. If they do not retract and are too lowly attached between the gums, it will cause the gap between the upper incisors to be too wide. In this case, the oral lip line is thick and can be improved by lip band resection.

Cause

The normal attachment of the labial ligament should be located at the junction of the labial gingival and the alveolar mucosa between the central incisors, and if it is attached to the alveolar crest, it is a labial deformity. Once the lip bandage is found to be deformed, the lip band correction must be done.

Too low will cause the gap between the upper incisors to be too wide. The normal attachment of the labial ligament should be located at the junction of the labial gingival and the alveolar mucosa between the central incisors, and if it is attached to the alveolar crest, it is a labial deformity. Diagnosis can be made based on clinical manifestations. It should be checked and confirmed in time for surgery.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of the oral lip line:

1. Exposed roots: The exposed roots are mainly caused by the shrinkage of the gums. At the same time, the teeth become larger, the teeth become longer and the teeth are loose. The roots of the teeth are exposed, and the atrophy of the gums often makes the exposed teeth extremely sensitive to temperature changes and acidic foods, and often causes irritation.

2, tooth displacement: When periodontitis develops to a certain extent, due to the destruction of the alveolar bone of the fixed teeth, the teeth tend to tilt to the side of the more severely damaged.

Diagnosis can be made based on clinical manifestations.
