Intervention  Test group (LASER assisted surgery) compared with control group (conventional method)  LASER (Test group) : The area will be anaesthetized with a local infiltration by using 2% lignocaine with 1:80000 adrenaline.The diode LASER at the power setting of 2.5W will be used in a contact mode and moved, in a paint brush stroke, from the base to the apex of the frenum thereby excising it. Any remnant fiber over the periosteum will be removed by gently sweeping the laser tip and the ablated remnant tissue will be cleaned with gauze soaked in saline. Patient will be recalled further for evaluation of clinical parameters. Conventional (Control group): The area will be anaesthetized with a local infiltration by using 2% lignocaine with 1:80000 adrenaline. The frenum will be engaged with a hemostat which will be inserted into the depth of the vestibule and incisions will be placed on the upper and the undersurface of the hemostat until the hemostat is free. The triangular resected portion of the frenum with the hemostat will be removed. A blunt dissection will be done on the bone to relieve the fibrous attachment. The edges of the diamond shaped wound will be sutured by using 4-0 black silk with interrupted sutures. The sutures will be removed 1 week post-operatively.

Brief Summary  

      Patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into Group A and B. In the first visit, Scaling will be performed and oral hygiene instructions will be given following which Routine blood investigations will be done. In the next visit, frenectomy for patients in Group A will be performed by the conventional method; whereas frenectomy for patients in group B will be done by LASER assisted surgery. Patients will be evaluated for the healing index and VAS on the day of surgery,  7th day , 14th day and 1 month after the surgery. Patients will be monitored periodically for oral hygiene maintenance and recalled for further periodontal therapy as needed.
