ABSTRACT
Tongue-tie is recognized to have adverse influences in sucking and swallowing(infant feeding), growth of jaw, speech, and mechanical movement due to restrictions of tongue mobility. We used CO2-laser(RYJ-II) in frenulotomy of tongue-tie patients with expectations in reducing intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain and edema. We operated 32cases of the patient group utilizing CO2-laser(RYJ-II) in frenulotomy, 20 cases of the patient group using classic frenulotomy method with scalpel. We compared following variables in two groups intraoperative bleeding, operation time and postoperative pain and edema. Frenulotomy using CO2-laser(RYJ-II) resulted in reduction in bleeding, postoperative pain and postoperative edema, while reduction in operation time and wound healing time were not confirmed in this study. Authors suggest the ideal suitability of CO2-laser(RYJ-II) in frenulotomy of tongue-tie patients with a brief review of literature.
