MeSH:	ORAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES LIP
Abstract:	Data from the literature are often diametrically contradictory with regard to the need to carry out a surgical procedure in the case of a persistent frenulum, either when it is a case of its direct connection with the diastema median or not.Opinions vary on the most suitable time to perform the operation, or on the chronology of the intervention of the surgeon or orthodontist. The majority of authors agree that the operation is necessary but that there is no need for urgency. Some authors consider that one should wait until the eruption of the permanent molar, while others warn of the possibility of spontaneous closing of the diastema at the time of the eruption of the second permanent molar. According to reports in the literature the frequency of tectolabial frenulum in children is 7.3%, and in adults only 1.3%, which indicates that early surgical treatment is unjustified.Our investigation shows consistent data, because the greatest incidence of frenulectomia (80%) occurred up to the age of 20 years. Of all the sites affected by a hypertrophic frenulum, 90% were in the area of the upper lip. The connection between age and the localisation indicates orthodontic indication, of just the diastema median. Most diastema close during eruption of the lateral incisors, but if the diastema persists, and is accompanied by hypertrophic frenulum, the possibility of later spontaneous closing is slight. Thus the operative procedure can be carried out without waiting for the eruption of the canines.All operations for removal of abnormally developed frenulum comprise incision, excision or transposition of tissue in the region of the frenulum, i.e. a combination of all three procedures. The operative methods most frequently recommended because of the satisfactory postoperative result, speed of procedure and simple technique are “V” excision and horizontal incision of the interdental tissue and part of the papilla incisiva. After such surgical treatment it is possible to carry out corticotomy in the area if necessary.The aim of this study was to present indications for frenulectomy, with special reference to the time of the surgical procedure.

MeSH:	CARCINOMA LIP
Abstract:	The study presents the uncommon clinical appearance and localisation of carcinoma of the upper lip.A 74-year-old female patient was referred to the Outpatient Department of Oral Medicine because of a purulent infiltrate in the upper lip which was thought to be an insect bite. She was referred to the Outpatient Department of Oral Surgery where an incision was performed and drainage, and piogenic granuloma diagnosed. As the lesion had not healed after two months, but on the contrary had become harder and more visible, both vestibularly and labially, an excision was planned. In the meantime, however, the patient had attended the Clinic of Dermatovenerology because of basocellular lesions on the face, and during excision of the facial lesions a surface biopsy was performed from the skin side of the lip, and the PHD finding showed planocellular carcinoma. At the Clinic of Dermatovenerology the patient was recommended to undergo radiotherapy of the lesions. However, the patient returned to the Out-patient Department of Oral Surgery. Because of the suspicion that the biopsy had been too superficial and because of the possibility of eventual confusion with a mioblastoma, complete excision of the lesion was performed and an identical PHD finding was obtained of planocellular carcinoma. The patient was then transferred to the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Dubrava, where an extended excision was performed, and the PHD confirmed that the lesion had been completely excised in the previous procedure.
