In children, they also cause difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene, accumulation of plaque which ultimately results in dental caries.

The frenum was examined and classified by Placek\u2019s classification and Sewerin\u2019s classification.

According to the morphological type, the most common frenum was found to be simple frenum (81%), simple frenum with appendix (7.9%), frenum with nodule (6.5%), persistent tectolabial (2.2%), simple with nichum (1.6%), and bifid labial frenum (0.8%).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The most common frenum was gingival frenum and simple frenum in children.
