Abstract

Background: The maxillary labial frenum is frequently inserted in the mucogingival junction. However, it may show variation in attachment. Despite the fact that an aberrant labial frenum has been associated to a range of syndromic and non-syndromic disorders, it is frequently overlooked during routine intraoral examinations. Objectives: To find the prevalence of types of maxillary labial frenum attachment in patients visiting tertiary hospital in Nepal. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study comprised of 140 patients visiting the dental outpatient department of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital from December 23, 2021 to March 13, 2022. Investigators assessed the patient’s frenum insertion in the dental chair with the lip softly pulled away from the alveolar process in a nearly horizontal direction under good lighting. Data were entered and analysed statistically using SPSS.v21 where mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage were calculated depending upon the nature of data. Fisher’s exact test was done to determine the association of age category and sex with the types of frenulum attachment. Results: Most of the individuals (83, 59.3%) had the mucosal type of frenum followed by gingival (46, 32.9%), papillary (9, 6.4%), and least with papillary penetrating (2, 1.4%). Age and sex did not show any association with types of frenulum attachment. Conclusion: The insertion level of the labial frenum may vary, implying the significance of careful assessment during an intraoral examination. It also suggests that in presence of the abnormal attachment, an effective treatment approach planned timely could prevent gingival and interdental papilla pathological alterations.
尼泊尔某三级医院患者上颌唇系带附着的研究
背景:上颌唇系带常插入粘膜龈交界处。然而,它可能表现出依恋的变化。尽管事实上异常唇系带与一系列综合征和非综合征性疾病有关,但在常规口腔内检查中经常被忽视。目的:了解尼泊尔三级医院上颌唇系带附着类型的流行情况。方法:本分析性横断面研究包括2021年12月23日至2022年3月13日在特里布万大学教学医院牙科门诊部就诊的140例患者。研究人员在良好的光线下评估患者在牙科椅上的系带插入,嘴唇在接近水平的方向上轻轻地从牙槽突上拉开。数据录入并使用SPSS进行统计分析。V21中,根据数据的性质计算平均值、标准差、频率和百分比。费舍尔的精确测试是为了确定年龄类别和性别与系带依恋类型的关系。结果:粘膜型系带最多(83例,59.3%),其次为龈型(46例,32.9%),乳头型(9例,6.4%),乳头型最少(2例,1.4%)。年龄和性别与系带依恋类型没有任何关联。结论:唇系带的止点水平可能不同,提示在口腔内检查时仔细评估的重要性。提示在存在异常附着的情况下,及时制定有效的治疗方案可以预防牙龈和牙间乳头的病理改变。
