Abstract
Tongue is an important organ, which helps to perform many functions like deglutition, mastication and speech. A tongue-tie is a ?condition in which tip of the tongue cannot be protruded beyond the lower incisors teeth because of the short frenulum lingulae often containing scar tissue?. This condition leads to various difficulties. The conventional technique of doing a lingual frenectomy with a scalpel has various disadvantages. This present case report discusses on use of diode laser in management of ankyloglossia.
