ABSTRACT

Introduction: The lingual frenulum is a mucous membrane attached from the base of the tongue to the alveolar ridge. This structure in the newborn has an important role in sucking and breastfeeding. A short lingual frenulum influences the position of teeth in the dental arches, breastfeeding and hinders tongue movements. This situation is called ankyloglossia. Case Report: This study reports the case of a child, female, 04 years-old, who attended the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of the Catholic University of Brasilia with her father, complaining of " tied-tongue". After the interview, was diagnosed with ankyloglossia. The child had the lingual frenulum adhered to the base of the tongue, making it difficult to pronounce certain phonemes. Surgical removal was proposed, and consent was given by parents for the frenectomy. The surgery was successful, allowing the child an immediate improvement in speech. The same was referred for speech therapy to regain phonemes that were absent before the procedure. Conclusion: Frenectomy returned proper functions of the stomatognathic system of the patient, allowing the tongue to perform its duties as oral food transport, swallowing correct articulation of words.
