Sažetak
One of the most interesting and not yet understood anatomical structures of the oral cavity is the frenum or frenulum. The lingual frenum (LF) is an important structure that anatomically relates to the tongue and mandible, and, therefore, might be directly related to dental malocclusions. Oral frenula altered in morphology or in number have been directly associated with a number of genetic conditions, specially the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Some authors describe that the absence of the LF is a pathognomonic finding for this disorder. The aim of this study was to report a case of familial hypoplastic lingual frenum diagnosed during routine dental exam, and also discuss the association of non-syndromic conditions and/or genetic syndromes with the occurrence of abnormal LF. Dentists and physicians must be alert during clinical exam, with the objective to recognize early the signs that might indicate the diagnosis of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, since this condition interferes directly with the orthodontic treatment.
