The tongue's movement and functionality are greatly influenced by the lingual frenulum. The frenulum's restricted flexibility and range of motion can provide a number of difficulties in people with ankyloglossia. In recent years, research on the diagnosis, treatment, and effects of ankyloglossia on numerous parts of life has grown in importance. The lingual frenulum is often thoroughly examined, and the diagnosis is made after evaluating any functional restrictions. Ankyloglossia can be treated with frenotomy (also known as frenectomy), a quick surgical operation that loosens or trims the frenulum to increase tongue mobility. This case report demonstrates two cases of lingual frenectomy with diode laser.
