Abstract: Tongue-tie is a congenital anomaly characterized by a short frenulum that can hinder lingual mobility. The lingual frenulum is an anatomical structure consisting essentially of a very dense network of connective fibers which attaches the tongue to the oral floor, should be permitted adequate space at denture border. Otherwise, it will cause the dislodgement of the denture. The treatment options included frenotomy and frenectomy. Frenectomy is complete removal of the frenum, while frenotomy is incision of the frenum.This case reports a 51 year-old, edentulous male patient with brief lingual frenulum who complained of difficulty in speech, feeding and the instability of his complete mandibular denture which he underwent conventional lingual frenectomy procedure followed by speech therapy sessions.
