Question 1 of 25
4% Complete
An 8-year-old has a 2 mm midline diastema between erupting maxillary central incisors and a thick labial frenum that blanches the incisive papilla on lip retraction. The parents ask for a laser frenectomy now. What is the most appropriate advice?
Perform an immediate diode laser frenectomy now so that the diastema can close spontaneously as the incisors erupt
Monitor until the canines erupt; if the diastema persists, close orthodontically, then consider frenectomy
Close the space with composite additions to the central incisors
Perform an erbium laser frenectomy with curettage of the interdental bone and fibres now
