Abstrakt: Purpose of Review: The purpose of this review is to examine the current research of the posterior tongue tie and how it relates to breast feeding, solid feeding, and speech.
Recent Findings: Recent findings show that the posterior tongue tie may play a role in effective breast feeding.
Summary: Ankyloglossia is the term used for the restriction of the movement of the tongue that impairs certain functions such as breastfeeding or bottle feeding, feeding with solids, and speech. Cadaver studies have shown that there can be a restriction of the tongue and oral tissues in some people relative to others. In some breast-feeding studies, releasing the posterior tie has been shown to improve certain aspects of tongue movement. There is little evidence for or against posterior tongue ties contributing to other problems such as speech and solid feeding. This article goes into depth about the current studies on posterior ankyloglossia.
