Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of surgical treatment of ankyloglossia in children using a diode laser. The patients were divided into three age groups. The immediate and long-term results of treatment were evaluated. The postoperative period was favorable in 98,5 % of cases. After 6–9 months, very good and good treatment results were most common in the first age group (96,4 %). Improvement or normalization of sound pronunciation was noted in 86,7 % of all operated children.
