Résumé
Tethered oral tissue may represent anatomic variation or true pathology with functional limitations. The most prevalent functional limitation is impaired feeding due to ankyloglossia. Treatment options include conservative management with feeding support versus intervention such as frenotomy or frenuloplasty. The benefits of intervention have yet to be fully elucidated. Many can agree that intervention may improve maternal pain during breastfeeding, but the impact of these procedures on feeding efficiency and intake is debated. Alternate ties such as posterior ankyloglossia and lip tie have been proposed as pathologic oral ties, but their true impact on feeding and speech articulation remains unclear.
