Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Ankyloglossia, characterized by a short lingual frenulum, is a recognized condition.
  • It can lead to feeding difficulties, dysarthria, dyspnea, and social or mechanical issues.
  • Infant feeding difficulties and impaired breastfeeding are primary concerns.

Observation:

  • A case of posterior ankyloglossia with anterior mucosal hooding was observed.
  • The condition presented challenges for breastfeeding.

Findings:

  • A simple, safe, and effective treatment method was employed.
  • The treatment successfully improved breastfeeding in the infant.

Implications:
