title: [Hypertrophy of the inferior labial frenum].
abstract: Hypertrophy of the inferior labial frenum, which is present in approximately 8% of the population, can give rise to prosthodontic or periodontal problems. In contrast to hypertrophy of the superior labial frenum, there is no relation to orthodontic problems. The indications for extirpation of a hypertrophic inferior labial frenum are discussed.
