Lingual Frenectomy Asia

This frenum is larger to some people, fact which causes difficulties in speech since the tongue is not allowed to move freely. A lingual frenectomy is the procedure at the end of which this fold of tissue is removed, so that the tongue can move more freely. To remove this frenum, doctors recur to a procedure called labial frenectomy. This condition usually appears in children following the moment when their permanent upper front teeth have come in. Rarely, it can occur earlier, even before the baby teeth come in. A space between the two front teeth can appear in the case when the tissue is attached far down on the gum. The space can be closed by an orthodontist, but it can appear again because the frenum can repeatedly push the teeth apart. With adults, a frenectomy is needed if a frenum (usually one linking the cheek to the gum in the back of the mouth, or in the middle of the upper or lower lip) interferes with the denture's fit. Frenectomy is performed by means of a laser or a scalpel. Using a laser as the instrument provides certain advantages such as reducing bleeding and the need for sutures, or provoking less pain. Laser using procedure requires stillness on the part of the patient during the operation. This is why general anesthesia is required for children, while local anesthesia is sufficient with adults. In the case of scalpel usage is used, sutures are needed. The surgery usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.

Crowns are applied to treat major damage of tooth structure or aesthetic problems. Partial tooth missing is replaced by a bridge device to restore the functional and cosmetically not pleasing appearence. We work with several types of crowns and bridges: Porcelain crown fused to metal and bridge has a metal frame under the porcelain layer for supporting reason. The metal frame can be made from biocompatible metal, titanium and precious metal. It is a strong and long-lasting solution with the proper aesthetic result. It is also one of the most often used method for fixed dentures. Base-zirconium-oxide crown and bridge is the most modern and up-to-date solution in dental care for making fixed dentures, and the applied basic material originally used in space technology. It is the most perfect fixed denture from the point of view of aesthetic and biocompability. There is no recorded case of allergical reaction to zirconium-oxide in scientific references and literature. Its interaction with other metals used in dentistry can be actually ruled out.
