“…Tissue remnant refers to the persistence of midline sublingual tissue that usually undergoes apoptosis during embryonic development 1 . The interference of lingual frenulum alteration with breastfeeding has been reported by several studies in literature [2][3][4][5] . The studies have demonstrated that frenotomy is a simple, safe, fast, and efficient procedure, which improves significantly the breastfeeding ability and maternal nipple pain 4,6 .…”

Purpose: to verify the psychometric properties -validity and reliability -and the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of the "Neonatal Tongue Screening Test" from the Lingual Frenulum Protocol for Infants. Methods: this is an experimental retrospective study using data from 100 newborns. The infants were assessed within the first 48 hours after birth using the Neonatal Tongue Screening Test, and subsequently assessed at 30 days of life using the Lingual Frenulum Protocol for Infants. The assessments were performed by examiner 1, who collected images and data to be analyzed by examiner 2. Newborns with lingual frenulum alterations were referred to frenotomy, reassessed 30 days after surgery and followed until six months of life. Data were used for the validation process, which included the analyses of inter-intra rater agreement, criterion validity, construct validity, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. Data were statistically treated. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee under the number CAAE 40784315.9.0000.5538. Results: the "Neonatal Screening Test" was able to identify newborns with lingual frenulum alteration and the changes after frenotomy; furthermore, the results demonstrated adequate values of sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values. Concerning inter-intra rater agreement, the consistency of results demonstrated reliability and excellent repeatability. Conclusion

“…Still, there is classification of frenulum with the following characteristics: thick, tight or short (9) . Finally, it is considered as altered frenulum that is presented short and previously inserted (10) . In the Brazilian literature, there is a classification of the frenulum (11) , considering normal lingual frenulum, in which the insertion begins in the lower half of the tongue to the floor of the mouth; anterior insertion frenulum, when the insertion in the sublingual face is between the middle third and the tip of the tongue; short frenulum, when its insertion is normal, in the middle of the sublingual face, but its size is small; short frenulum with anteriorized insertion, at the junction of the two alterations.…”

Introduction: Breast milk is the most suitable feeding for all newborns and has numerous benefits widely described in the literature. For the extraction of milk, the suckling function of the newborn depends on adequate functioning of the tongue, including the lingual frenum. However, it is unclear the relationship among the lingual frenum and breast feeding. Purpose: To evaluate the lingual frenum in newborn infants and to verify their association with breast feeding. Methods: The sample consisted of 139 mother/infant binomials, who were born full term. For the anatomy-functional evaluation of the lingual frenum, the "Evaluation protocol of the lingual frenum for infants" was used. For the evaluation of the breast feeding, the "UNICEF observation protocol of breast feeding" was applied. To verify the association among the lingual frenum and breast feeding, the chi-square test was applied. Results: In the evaluation of the lingual frenulum of the 139 infants, it was verified only one infant with a frenum alteration, equivalent to a prevalence of 0.8%, was found. In the evaluation of breastfeeding, of the 138 binomials, whose infants did not have alteration of the lingual frenum, 82 of them (59.4%) did not demonstrated any difficulty during breast feeding. The only infant with lingual frenum alteration did not present difficulties in breast feeding. Conclusion: There are insufficient subsidies to establish an association among lingual frenum and breast feeding.
