Labial Ankyloglossia Associated with Oligodontia: A Case Report

Developmental disturbances of the tongue (aglossia, macroglossia, microglossia, and ankyloglossia) can adversely affect the development of the surrounding struc-tures including the palate, alveolar process, and teeth. these developmental dis-turbances impair functions such as mastication, speech, and swallowing. anky-loglossia is of various types and may be associated with other syndromic features like cleft palate. we report a rare type of non-syndromic ankyloglossia associated with missing of the permanent anterior tooth.
