Abstract

A comparative analysis of the results of treatment of children with ankyloglossia was carried out. Patients are divided into three age groups (3–6 years; 7–9 years; 10–12 years) and two subgroups depending on the method (conventional surgical and diode laser method). The immediate (14 days) and long-term (9 months) results of treatment were evaluated. The study showed the advantage of using a laser in assessing immediate results and the absence of significant differences in assessing long-term results. Regardless of the method of treatment, a higher efficiency of frenuloplasty is determined at preschool age.
