Lingual Frenectomy Using Diode Laser Therapy - A Case Report
Dr. Aparna Krishnan
Abstract: Ankyloglossia, often known as tongue - tie, is the result of a short, tight lingual frenulum that restricts the movement of the tongue, making speech articulation difficult. This article details the laser surgical treatment of a 13 year old male patient, who had ankyloglossia, which was accompanied by decreased tongue mobility and trouble speaking. A diode laser frenectomy was used in conjunction with speech therapy and tongue training exercises as part of the treatment. After a month, the patient's tongue movements improved, and uneventful healing process was seen.
