Kathy, I don't have the study at home but there was one sited last year  
about clipping frenulums.  I found it to be a very good study so I sent it  on to 
the neo I work with to help pave the way to educating the pediatrician  staff 
on frenotomies.
His comments to me were why would anyone want to clip a frenulum if they  can 
just grow back.  I was baffled by his comments so went back and reread  the 
article.  In one small paragraph they addressed that older children who  have 
the surgery to release the frenulum have a higher rate of growing back the  
frenulum.  Now did it say "growing back" verses a poor results, I don't  recall.  
I did write back to the neo and pointed this out and funny thing he has not  
written me back.
I know in Massachusetts we really have a draught of clinicians we can turn  
to for frenotomies.  I would really love to see some traveling clinics  who 
train clinicians on how to assess and perform this simple and NEEDED  procedure.
