Ankyloglossia, also known as tongue-tie, is a rare congenital anomaly of the oral cavity that not only causes difficulties in breastfeeding and teeth cleaning but also causes difficulty in speech articulation. Our patient faced difficulty in freely moving his tongue because of the short lingual frenulum wherein laser lingual frenectomy was indicated. The patient was treated successfully with a soft tissue diode laser having a wavelength of 445 nanometers. The use of a low-wavelength diode laser becomes relatively complimentary to standard scalpel surgery because of patient consolation, offers a blood-free area, reduces inflammation and edema, and is less damaging to thermal tissues.
舌系带过短,又称舌系带短缩,是一种罕见的口腔先天性畸形,不仅会导致母乳喂养和清洁牙齿困难,还会导致语音清晰度问题。由于舌系带过短,我们的患者在自由移动舌头时面临困难,因此需要进行激光舌系带切除术。该患者使用波长为445纳米的软组织二极管激光成功接受了治疗。由于能让患者感到舒适、提供无血区域、减轻炎症和水肿,且对热组织的损伤较小,低波长二极管激光的使用相对补充了标准手术刀手术。
