简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate the improvement in tongue mobility in patients with ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) following frenectomy. Ankyloglossia restricts tongue movement, potentially causing issues with speech, swallowing, and dental malocclusion.

结局指标
主要结局
Kotlow index
时间窗: 3 months
The Kotlow index measures the distance point of attachment of the frenum on the ventral surface of the tongue and the tip of the tongue. This outcome measure will be assessed in millimeters (mm) using the Quick Tongue-Tie (QTT) Assessment Tool.
Tongue-Incisive Papilla Distance
时间窗: 3 months
Tongue-Incisive Papilla (TIP) Distance is the distance between Tongue and Incisive Papilla. Ask the patient to open their mouth and simultaneously keep tongue tip touching the upper central papilla, the distance between upper and lower right central incisors is defined as TIP. This outcome measure will be assessed in millimeters (mm) using the Quick Tongue-Tie (QTT) Assessment Tool.
Comfortable Mouth Opening
时间窗: 3 months
Comfortable Mouth Opening (CMO) is the optimal jaw position during relaxed oral function, measured as the distance between the upper and lower teeth when the patient siting in upright posture, being relax and looking straight forward, and the mouth is naturally open. This outcome measure will be assessed in millimeters (mm) using the Quick Tongue-Tie (QTT) Assessment Tool.
Lingual - Palatal Suction
时间窗: 3 months
Lingual - Palatal Suction (LPS) is the distance between the upper and lower right central incisors when opening while the tongue is elevated to touch the hard palate. This outcome measure will be assessed in millimeters (mm) using the Quick Tongue-Tie (QTT) Assessment Tool.
