Beyond surgery: Pre- and post-operative care in children with ankyloglossia.

Background: Surgical intervention for tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia performed by paediatric dentists can alleviate symptoms and improve functional abilities in infants and children. Despite widespread practice, there are currently no established clinical guidelines or consistent approaches for pre- and post-operative care of children.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore approaches to pre- and post-operative care for children with ankyloglossia having frenum surgery.

In healthy older adults, gut microbiome composition has been associated with cognitive function. In people with PD, preliminary evidence suggests that cortical spreading of abnormal alpha-synuclein aggregates may be associated with cognitive impairment.
