These developmental disturbances impair functions such as mastication, speech, and swallowing. Ankyloglossia is of various types and may be associated with other syndromic features like cleft palate. We report a rare type of non-syndromic ankyloglossia associated with missing of the permanent anterior tooth. https://fid.tums.ac.ir/index.php/fid/article/view/408 https://fid.tums.ac.ir/index.php/fid/article/download/408/384
