This article discusses the significance of anatomical variations of Maxillary and Mandibular frenula found in children, indications for surgical intervention vs deferment and no treatment, and the anesthetic and surgical techniques in contemporary use for their management. Ankyloglossia, or tongue-tie is a common phenomenon observed as early as birth which can become problematic for infants exp...

Cleft palate with ankyloglossia (CPX; MIM 303400) is inherited as a Mendelian, semidominant X-linked disorder and has been described in several large families from different ethnic origins. It is a useful genetic model for non-syndromic cleft palate, a common congenital disorder. Recently, the underlying genetic defect in CPX was identified, where unique mutations were found in the T-box-contai...

INTRODUCTION Ankyloglossia is a congenital anomaly in which the lingual frenulum is unusually short and thick, thus decreasing tongue mobility. In the context of the newborn or young infant it is a subject of ongoing controversy within and between medical specialties. The controversy involves not only the definition but also the management of this anomaly. A tight lingual frenulum is considered...

Craniofacial defects involving the lip and/or palate are among the most common human birth defects. X-linked cleft palate and ankyloglossia results from loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the T-box transcription factor TBX22. Further studies show that TBX22 mutations are also found in around 5% of non-syndromic cleft palate patients. Although palate defects are obvious at birth, th...
