“…Contrary to what the previous literature suggested, 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 Martinelli et al 18 evaluated 71 infants from the first to the twelfth month of life regarding the characteristics and location of the brake insertion, both on ventral tongue and on the floor of the mouth, and clinically proved that there is no change or migration of the insertion of superior fibers from the genioglossus during the first year of the baby’s life, since in 100% of the patients there was no change in the position, thickness, or length of the structure. Silva et al 20 also observed clinically that subjects with ankylosis showed about 5.5 times more restrictions of lingual mobility and muscle atypia during mastication than those with their normally inserted lingual frenulum.…”

Objective: To critically examine the existing Brazilian and International scientific literature regarding the influence of short lingual frenulum over growth and development of the stomatognathic system, as well as how it impacts the achievement of the shape-function balance.Data sources: An electronic literature search was conducted in databases, including MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, LILACS, SciELO, and ScienceDirect, using the key words “lingual frenum” and “development”, as well as their equivalents in Brazilian Portuguese. The literature search yielded 51 papers published between January 1997 and the present date; 14 articles of clinical trials were selected for meeting the inclusion criteria and were read in full.Data synthesis: The integrated literature review supported the proposition that some malocclusions are closely related to the presence of ankyloglossia and, although very few clinical trials on this topic have been published so far, there is a consensus among authors concerning the negative effects of functional imbalances over the stomatognathic system’s proper growth and development. Half of the studies found state that surgical interventions for releasing the lingual frenum are both safe and effective, concerning improvement in breastfeeding scores. Moreover, 4 out of the 14 studies included in this integrated review, report a negative influence of ankyloglossia over the orofacial muscular system.Conclusions: There is a consensus among the authors concerning the negative effects of lingual frenulum’s anatomic and functional alterations over craniofacial growth and development. The opinion about the early surgical intervention, however, is not unanimous.

“…Jang et al 27 and Meenakshi e Jagannathan, 16 in clinical studies, positively correlated changes in the lingual frenulum and the presence of malocclusions. The last authors classified 30 patients aged 12-16 years into three groups according to the type of malocclusion.…”

BackgroundPartial ankyloglossia is a limitation which restricts the possibility of protrusion and elevation of the tip of the tongue due to the shortness of either the lingual frenulum or the genioglossus muscles or both. The principal objective of this paper is to present our protocol of action for the treatment of ankyloglossia. The specific objectives are to study patients with ankyloglossia treated by the Service of Maxillofacial Surgery and the Service of Speech Therapy of our pediatric Hospital, describe the diagnostic procedures, the pre-surgical intervention, the surgical technique undertaken and the post-surgical rehabilitation taking into account the level of collaboration of the patients, and finally, describe the surgical complications and the referral of patients.Material and MethodsThis is a descriptive study of healthy patients, without any diagnosis of syndrome, ranging between 4 and 14 years that have been surgically treated and rehabilitated post-surgery within a period of 2 years.Results101 frenectomies and lingual plasties have been performed and patients have been treated following the protocol of action that we hereby present. After the surgical intervention, the degree of ankyloglossia has been improved, considering correction in 29 (28%) of the patients (95% CI: 20%, 38%), reaching, with the post-surgical orofacial rehabilitation, a correction of 97 (96%) of the participants (95% CI: 90%, 98%).ConclusionsThe chosen surgical technique for moderate-severe ankyloglossia in our centre is the frenectomy and lingual plasty. The myofunctional training begins one week before the surgical intervention so that the patients learn the exercises without pain. Key words:Ankyloglossia, tongue-tie, lingual frenum.
