Abstract in brief
- The neonatal lingual frenulum is a layered, dynamic structure composed of oral mucosa and fascia that moves with tongue motion, contradicting the traditional view of it as a simple midline band.
- Microdissection of infant cadavers shows that the frenulum involves important anatomical features such as the underlying floor of mouth fascia, the genioglossus muscle, and the location of lingual nerve branches, which are at risk during frenotomy.
- This research highlights the variability in frenulum anatomy and suggests that understanding these differences is crucial for assessing tongue mobility and addressing breastfeeding difficulties, challenging previous assumptions about what constitutes a normal lingual frenulum.
