Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the improvement in tongue mobility in patients with ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) following frenectomy. Ankyloglossia restricts tongue movement, potentially causing issues with speech, swallowing, and dental malocclusion.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | Frenectomy | The study involves using a diode laser and scalpel to treat ankyloglossia in cases that are unresponsive to tongue exercises or exhibit severe restrictions. The techniques employed range from simple frenotomy to complex frenuloplasty, depending on the severity of the condition. Electrocautery is frequently used to minimize bleeding, although it may result in scar formation. |
