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.
