Abstract

La anquiloglosia es considerada una anomalía congenita cuyo tratamiento indicado es la frenectomía, esta técnica quirurgica consiste en la remoción del tejído que une la lengua con el piso de la boca. Esta técnica permite al paciente una mejoría considerable a las limitaciones causadas por dicha anomalía como lo son dificultades en la succión, pronunciación, masticación y dificultad para tocar el labio inferior con la punta de la lengua. En la actualidad el uso de la tecnología láser y sus beneficios en la odontología moderna, permite la realización de procedimientos quirúrgicos libres de sangrado, con muy poco dolor e inflamación de los tejidos y con un tiempo de recuperación mucho menor a los necesarios con técnicas convensionales. En el presente caso clínico, se presenta una paciente de 12 años de edad con una anquilosis severa, por lo que se le indicó frenectomía lingual. Para ello se utilizó un láser Nd:YAG de contacto, logrando una intervención quierúrgica conmuy poco dolor, libre de sangrado y sin necesidad del uso de sutura.

Ankyloglossia is considered a congenital patology, whose treatment indicated is a frenectomy, this surgical technique consists in remove the tissue that joins the tongue with the floor mouth.This technique allows the patient a considerable improvement to limitations caused by this anomalysuch as difficulties in suction, pronunciation, chewing and difficulty in touching the lower lip with the tip of the tongue. Currently the use of laser technology and its benefits in modern dentistry, allows the realization of surgical procedures free of bleeding, with very little pain and inflammation of the tissues and with a recovery time much lower than necessary with conventional techniques. The present clinical case, show a 12-year-old patient with severe ankyloglossia, lingual frenectomy was indicated. A contact Nd: YAG laser was used, achieving a quirurgical intervention with little pain, free bleeding and without suture.
