Dental specialists are frequently confronted with the task of attempting to determine whether a cause and effect relationship exists between a short or restricting lingual frenum (ankyloglossia or tongue-tie) and a specific oral motor dysfunction. Because there is no standardized definition of what constitutes a condition of tongue-tie, the dental practitioner is often unsure as to the appropriate course of action with a patient with suspected ankyloglossia. This paper describes clinical measures that permit quantifying several anatomic and functional aspects of the tongue. Such baseline analysis provides a more definitive appraisal of lingual function as well as a more objective basis for making pre- and posttreatment comparisons.
牙科专家经常面临这样的任务，即试图确定短而受限的舌系带（舌系带过短或舌粘连）与特定的口腔运动功能障碍之间是否存在因果关系。由于对于什么构成舌系带过短的情况没有标准化的定义，牙科从业者对于疑似舌系带过短的患者通常不确定合适的治疗方案。本文描述了一些临床测量方法，这些方法可以对舌头的几个解剖和功能方面进行量化。这样的基线分析为舌功能提供了更明确的评估，也为治疗前后的比较提供了更客观的依据。
