[On the reasons for ankyloglossia relapse. Part 2. Laser technique pitfalls].

The paper presents typical complications after laser lingual frenectomy. Laser and scalpel frenectomy are comparable in terms of functional results. Laser technique has some advantages (less pain and discomfort during the procedure and in the early postoperative period, less need for local anesthesia, lower average surgery time) but the exact knowledge of laser technical features is mandatory for optimal surgery results. Laser technique methodology is described allowing to avoid the complications.
