Lingual Frenum Shape, Length and Function in relation to Stomatognathic Growth: from Childbirth to Preschoolar Age
October 19 11:30 – 12:15
The stomatognathic function is already born inside the uterus and develops in relation to the movements of the fetus and its ability to regulate its functions such as, for example, the variability of the heartbeat.
In particular, the vagal function develops ensuring the interconnection of the anatomical structures connected with sucking and swallowing.
The shape and function of the frenulum also depend on the ability of the fetus and newborn to integrate all these functions.
Understanding how the baby sucks, swallows, breathes and yawns can be essential to evaluate the function of the frenulum in the newborn baby and its evolution within the stomatognathic system.
