Background: Ankyloglossia “tie tongue” is a congenital anomaly, characterized by abnormal short thick lingual frenum that causes limitation of tongue movement, which results in problems in speech, mastication and patient discomfort. Laser is an alternative for conventional surgery to treat ankyloglossia. Case Report: A 50 years old female patient presented with ankyloglossia to laser clinic in faculty of Dentistry in Misr University for Science and Technology. Lingual frenectomy was done with Diode Laser with 980 nm wavelength, fiber tip diameter 300 μm, power 1.5 Watt, continuous wave mode and contact mode. The time of procedure was only 15 minutes, with bloodless field during work. Patient dismissed without sutures or wound dressing. Results: There was no post-operative pain, discomfort or swelling. Complete healing occurred after 2 weeks. The patient was very satisfied with the quick painless procedure. Conclusion: Diode Laser 980nm treatment of Ankyloglossia is a simple, quick, painless and safe, and effective procedure. We recommend this treatment modality because of its advantages for both the patient and the operator.
