To investigate the relationship between the lingual frenulum length with mandibular incisor irregularity and type of occlusion in children with ankyloglossia.
Eighty children aged between 7 and 12 years with ankyloglossia enrolled in the study. The patients were classified according to Kotlow's classification. Mandibular incisor crowding was measured and the molar relationship was determined. The data were analysed statistically using Fisher's exact test, X2 and Pearson's correlation.
Of the 80 patients, 45 (56.3%) had mild, 23 (28.8%) had moderate and 12 (15%) had severe ankyloglossia. Fifty-nine (73.8%) of the patients had mild irregularity, 18 (22.5%) had moderate and 3 (3.8%) had severe irregularity. In 56 (70%) of the patients, Class I occlusion was observed, 17 (21.3%) had Class II and 7 (8.8%) had Class III occlusion. No significant differences were found between types of ankyloglossia with mandibular incisor irregularity and occlusion types. A significant positive correlation was determined between the length of the lingual frenulum length and mandibular incisor irregularity. There were significant positive correlations between the lingual frenulum length, incisor irregularity and age.
Mild and moderate types of ankyloglossia are unrelated to mandibular incisor crowding and occlusion type.
探讨舌系带过短儿童的舌系带长度与下颌切牙不齐及咬合类型之间的关系。
80名年龄在7至12岁之间的舌系带过短儿童纳入本研究。患者根据科特洛分类法进行分类。测量下颌切牙拥挤程度并确定磨牙关系。使用费舍尔精确检验、卡方检验和皮尔逊相关性对数据进行统计学分析。
80例患者中,45例(56.3%)为轻度舌系带过短,23例(28.8%)为中度,12例(15%)为重度。59例(73.8%)患者有轻度不齐,18例(22.5%)有中度不齐,3例(3.8%)有重度不齐。56例(70%)患者观察到I类咬合,17例(2¹3%)为II类,7例(8.8%)为III类咬合。舌系带过短类型与下颌切牙不齐及咬合类型之间未发现显著差异。舌系带长度与下颌切牙不齐之间存在显著正相关。舌系带长度、切牙不齐与年龄之间存在显著正相关。
轻度和中度舌系带过短与下颌切牙拥挤及咬合类型无关。
