Atuação fonoaudiológica na anquiloglossia

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this research is to describe the speech-language pathology performance in subjects with ankyloglossia. Methods: An integrative bibliographic review was carried out in the Google Scholar, SciELO and LILACS databases, with the descriptors: “Ankyloglossia, breastfeeding, evaluation, rehabilitation, speech-language pathology”. Ten articles published between 2015 and 2025 were selected for descriptive and critical analysis. Results: The review highlighted the importance of early diagnosis of ankyloglossia and interdisciplinary action, highlighting the effectiveness of frenectomy associated with speech-language pathology monitoring. The predominance of dental studies was also observed, reducing the need for greater scientific production on the subject in speech-language pathology. Conclusion: It is concluded that the objectives of the study were successfully achieved, and that the results presented are presented for reflection on the need for greater appreciation and visibility of Speech Therapy in the context of ankyloglossia. It is expected that this work will encourage new studies that deepen the participation of the speech therapist in clinical and multidisciplinary practices, promoting a more complete and interdisciplinary view of this condition.
