Abstract:
The management of tongue tie has many approaches. In this presentation we will explore the anatomy and physiology of normal tongue frenulae and that of ankyloglossia. How the structures affect function and how to manage them to optimise function. We will also discuss the problems that can be seen following incomplete release and reattachment. We will also cover complications during surgery and management options.
Learning Objectives:
1: Describe the normal anatomy of the tongue.
2: Explain how ankyloglossia affects the normal function of the tongue.
3: Describe how to achieve a complete release of ankyloglossia in order to optimise function and why supportive therapies are vital to the outcome.
