Abstract

Introduction: Ankyloglossia is a developmental anomaly of the tongue characterized by the atypical insertion of the lingual frenulum. Such condition causes an impediment in the correct movement of the tongue and damages to several areas of the stomatognathic system. Objective: To conduct a literature search on the characteristics of neonatal ankyloglossia and its repercussions on the stomatognathic system that influence breastfeeding. Material and Method: Articles available in the PubMed and Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases, published in English and Portuguese and published between 2009 and 2019, were used. Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 studies were selected. Ankyloglossia is one that has been extensively studied in the literature, but its relationship with breastfeeding is still controversial among some authors. Conclusion: The literature points to the influence on the tongue brake and its implication in the infant's nutritional nutrition. However, more parameters and longitudinal studies to obtain concise data about the correct diagnosis and timing of treatment of these babies are still needed.
