Abstract

Objective: To analyse the surgical management of an anomalous lingual frenulum. Methods: A descriptive document analysis was carried out, supported by the systemic review technique. Results and conclusion: Section of the frenulum resolves the anatomical difficulty, but correct use of the tongue requires postoperative functional rehabilitation. It is concluded that long lingual frenulae are capable of producing recession in the lingual area, due to the traction they exert. In other words, there is a direct relationship between the height and insertion of the frenulum with respect to papillary loss and the presence of gingival recession. High intensity laser therapy is a good alternative to the conventional technique.
