Objective To identify and seek consensus on issues and controversies related to ankyloglossia and upper lip tie in children by using established methodology for American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery clinical consensus statements. Methods An expert panel of pediatric otolaryngologists was assembled with nominated representatives of otolaryngology organizations. The target population was children aged 0 to 18 years, including breastfeeding infants. A modified Delphi method was used to distill expert opinion into clinical statements that met a standardized definition of consensus, per established methodology published by the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. Results After 3 iterative Delphi method surveys of 89 total statements, 41 met the predefined criteria for consensus, 17 were near consensus, and 28 did not reach consensus. The clinical statements were grouped into several categories for the purposes of presentation and discussion: ankyloglossia (general), buccal tie, ankyloglossia and sleep apnea, ankyloglossia and breastfeeding, frenotomy indications and informed consent, frenotomy procedure, ankyloglossia in older children, and maxillary labial frenulum. Conclusion This expert panel reached consensus on several statements that clarify the diagnosis, management, and treatment of ankyloglossia in children 0 to 18 years of age. Lack of consensus on other statements likely reflects knowledge gaps and lack of evidence regarding the diagnosis, management, and treatment of ankyloglossia. Expert panel consensus may provide helpful information for otolaryngologists treating patients with ankyloglossia.

“…According to Gartner and Schein [ 11 ], a histological study of the labial frenulum demonstrated that muscle fibers and epithelial tissues exist deep to the labial frenulum, and they speculated those muscle fibers could be the cause of the unsuccessful outcome of the frenulectomy. Macroscopically, there is only taut connective tissue behind the labial frenulum [ 7 ]. The ILS is lateral to the connective tissue behind the upper frenulum and the MT lies lateral to the connective tissue behind the lower frenulum.…”

“…The buccal frenulum of the maxilla corresponds to the lateral border of the lower portion of the ILS and the anterior border of the buccinator. The buccal frenulum of the mandible corresponds to the lateral border of the upper portion of the MT and incisivus labii inferioris (ILI), and the anterior border of the buccinator [ 7 ]. In terms of periodontology, the buccal frenulum is considered one cause of gingival recession, and buccal frenulectomy of the high-positioned buccal frenulum might be indicated [ 12 ].…”

Mimetic muscles contract and pull the overlying skin toward the muscle’s bony attachment. Numerous books and articles have shown the mimetic muscles via cadaveric dissection. However, for dentistry and oral surgery, the mimetic muscles have not been detailed from intraoral dissection. Recently, several papers have addressed various mimetic muscles in relation to intraoral dissection. However, to our knowledge, there has been no overview of these muscles beneath the oral mucosa. Here, we review the literature concerning the mimetic muscles as revealed during intraoral dissection, create novel illustrations, and discuss the relationship of these muscles with general dentistry and oral surgery. The mimetic muscles, which constitute the surface of the oral mucosa, the relationship of the labial and buccal frenulum and mimetic muscles, the relationship of the mucogingival junction and mimetic muscles, and other surgical procedures are discussed. A better understanding of the mimetic muscles from an intraoral perspective is important for those performing oral surgery and dentistry.

“…The anterior border of the BM corresponds to the buccal frenulum (which means when the buccal membrane is retracted laterally) around the second premolar to the first molar region [ 4 ]. Also, the bony attachment of the BM corresponds to the mucogingival junction [ 5 ].…”

Our previous studies based on intraoral dissection of fresh cadavers revealed that the fissure and loose connective tissues deep to the mucosa between the incisivus labii inferioris muscle and buccinator muscle form the entrance of the newly discovered bucco-mandibular space. To support the clinical significance of this space, we report the finding of a hematoma within this space in an adult fresh cadaver. Such a finding lends credence to studying the bucco-mandibular space and might help better understand the spread of some infections in the oral region.
