The development of abnormal oral frena is an important diagnostic feature of several syndromic states. Five such syndromes are reviewed which include Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, holoprosencephaly, Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, and oral-facial-digital syndrome. Each syndrome exhibits relatively specific frena abnormalities, ranging from multiple, hyperplastic, hypoplastic, or absent. 1-8 In addition to abnormal oral frena observed in syndromic conditions, anomalous frena are encountered without other associated phenotypic features of genetic or chromosomal states. 9 This paper is a review of the above stated frena deformities and their management.

Various oral complications such as gingival recession, restricted lip movement and tooth malalignment are the result of an abnormal frenum. Management of these types of frenum is either frenectomy or frenotomy. Methods for performing frenectomies include the conventional scalpel technique, Z-plasty, Miller's technique, V-Y plasty, lasers, and electrocautery.

The frenum is a mucous membrane fold that connects the lip and cheek to the gingiva, periosteum, and alveolar mucosa. When the frena are linked too closely to the gingival border, there may be issues with plaque removal, and the overall gingiva may be affected. In addition, the maxillary frenum may provide aesthetic difficulties or interfere with the aesthetic outcome in cases of midline diastema, which may result in a recurrence after treatment.

Background: The buccal frenum is connective tissue that adheres the mucosa of the cheek to the alveolar process. When restricted, this condition is commonly known as a buccal- or cheek-tie. Restrictive buccal frena are often treated during tongue- and lip-tie procedures, yet widely accepted classification, diagnostic and treatment guidelines are lacking.

The lingual frenulum (LF) is a fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the oral cavity's floor. Abnormal frenula are associated with speech alterations. The absence of the LF is associated with Ehler's Danlos syndrome (EDS).

Aim: This study aimed to determine the impact of laser surgical tongue-tie, lip-tie, buccal-tie release on bottle-feeding and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after functional assessment of tongue and lip movement in a prospective cohort study conducted from June 2019 to June 2020 in a private general dental practice.
Methods: Preoperative, one-week and one-month postoperative surveys were completed, using the Revised Infant Gastroesophageal Reflux Questionnaire (I-GERQ-R). All study participants were bottle-feeding dyads (0-12 weeks of age) with untreated ankyloglossia and/or tethered maxillary/buccal frena.
