Lingual Frenulum in a Pre-School Child. Case Study

The aim of this study is to present the influence of a shortened lingual frenulum on the change in the quality of articulation in a pre-school child. The intense growth in the orofacial complex is observed in children between 4 and 6 years old, which results in enlarged space for tongue movements. The girl, whose case is described in this article, found it difficult to achieve proper articulation contacts in the enlarging structures of the orofacial complex.
