A simple examination was done and the diagnosis of ankyloglossia was based on the presence of a short lingual frenum and Kotlow criteria. Also, the length of the free tongue was measured by a ruler, and based on the measurements, values of 16 mm and above were considered normal and values less than 3 mm were considered severe. The prevalence and severity of ankyloglossia were compared by sex with chi-square or Fisher exact test and normal distribution of quantitative variables was analyzed by the Shapiro-Wilk test.
