摘要
We present three cases for the management of paediatric tongue tie (ankyloglossia) through laser-assisted frenectomy and postoperative oral myofunctional exercises. Ankyloglossia, characterised by a restricted lingual frenulum, poses challenges in tongue movement and is traditionally treated with surgical interventions. Laser technology, particularly diode lasers, has shown promise in paediatric cases due to reduced bleeding, minimal discomfort and faster recovery. The case series presents three instances where patients underwent laser-assisted frenectomy, demonstrating improved tongue function and speech outcomes. The comprehensive approach includes adherence to safety protocols, meticulous surgical techniques and the integration of postoperative exercises. Results indicate significant improvement in speech and tongue mobility, with no reported pain or complications. The study underscores the efficacy, safety and patient-centric nature of the combined laser and exercise strategy in addressing ankyloglossia in paediatric dentistry, emphasising the need for further research and long-term follow-up studies to validate its sustained effectiveness.
