- Title
Ankyloglossia (tongue-tie): A diagnostic and treatment quandary.
- Authors
Kotlow, Lawrence A.
- Abstract
The tongue is an important oral structure that affects speech, the position of teeth, periodontal tissue, nutrition, swallowing, nursing, and certain social activities. Ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) limits the range of motion of the tongue, impairing its ability to fulfill its functions- in this article, diagnostic criteria needed to evaluate and treat ankyloglossia are suggested, and a method for classifying ankyloglossia is proposed.
