ANKYLOGLOSSIA – CASE REPORT
View through CrossRef
Tongue tie or ankyloglossia is a developmental anomaly of the tongue, in which the tip of tongue cannot protrude beyond the lower incisor teeth
because of short frenulum linguae, often containing scar tissue. It is characterized by an abnormally short, thick lingual frenum resulting in
limitation of tongue movement. It can be categorized into 2 types- Total ankyloglossia and Partial ankyloglossia. Ankyloglossia can affect feeding,
speech, and oral hygiene as well as have mechanical/social effects. This article reports a case of ankyloglossia which was surgically treated with
uneventful healing and good patient satisfaction.
