Diode laser frenectomy offers a less painful and controlled surgical option for infants and children with ankyloglossia (tongue-tie). While effective for improving tongue mobility in most cases, one patient experienced reattachment six months post-procedure.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Oral Surgery
- Laser Dentistry
Background:
- Ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) presents significant challenges, including speech impairment, breastfeeding difficulties, restricted tongue mobility affecting oral hygiene, inhibited mandibular growth, and abnormal swallowing patterns.
- Conventional frenectomy techniques can be challenging and invasive for pediatric patients.
- Diode laser technology offers a minimally invasive approach with potential benefits like reduced bleeding and pain.
