Abstract
Ankyloglossia is a developmental condition wherein there is a short lingual frenulum that causes restricted mobility of the tongue. It results in feeding problems, speech abnormalities and dental caries. Various methods of ankyloglossia release have been used over the years. These procedures can be simple snipping of the band, or release by V Y Plasty or Z Plasty. One of the main problems associated with the release is bleeding from the mucosa leading to obscuration of the surgical field. Sometimes severe hemorrhage from the sublingual veins can lead to respiratory distress. Thus we have described a safe way of ankyloglossia release using the diode laser which provides excellent hemostasis.
Keywords: Ankyloglossia; Diode Laser; Z Plasty.
