Background: The labial frenula are triangular plicas departing from the alveolar mucosa and attaching themselves at different heights of the gingiva. Sometimes a high attachment can determine a gingival recession. The most suitable surgical resolution is the use of laser devices. The aim of this study was to compare the labial frenulectomy through the use of Diode and CO2 laser techniques in pediatric patients with a high labial frenulum attachment, clarifying at the same time the preventive role of the surgical treatment to avoid further recession.

Abstract: Background: Ankyloglossia is an anatomical alteration of the frenulum length, volume,
compactness, and insertion. It can lead to alterations in the ability to swallow and chewing, and
dysfunctional coordination amongst cranio-facial muscles; these alterations are often responsible for
respiratory alterations, skeletal malocclusions and dyslalia or the delay of speech. The aim of this study
is to estimate the efficacy of lingual frenulectomy with diode-laser technology through a qualitative

Background. The aim of this study was to compare retrospectively the effect of three
different treatment protocols on the healing outcome in patients with established medication-related
osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Methods. A total of 34 MRONJ patients were recruited from the
Department database and were divided according to the treatment protocols in a study group (G1)
and two control groups (G2 and G3). G1 was treated with antibiotic therapy, surgery, leukocyte- and
