This case report describes a case where a 14 year old female patient was diagnosed with ankyloglossia and congenitally missing mandibular incisors and canines. The treatment planned was frenectomy and removable partial denture. The patient underwent lingual frenectomy procedure by scalpel method under local anesthesia without any complications. After a follow up the healing was uneventful without scar formation. The tongue showed good healing with protrusion several millimeters beyond the lower lip and aftercare with speech therapy for rehabilitation of the patient.
