Abstract

Ankyloglossia is not a newly discovered condition and about 3% of infants are born with a tongue-tie. A patient with Kotlow’s class I Ankyloglossia was treated with a soft tissue diode laser. Laser-assisted lingual frenectomy is reliable as it provides benefit of good accuracy, less trauma, minimal or no bleeding and quicker healing with reduced post-operative bleeding and oedema.

Keywords: Ankyloglossia, soft tissue diode laser
