Abstract: ObjectiveTo clarifythe current status of epidemiological investigation on ankyloglossia in Chinese population. MethodsLiterature on the morbidityofankyloglossia was searched in CNKI and was then analyzed.ResultsThe morbidity ofankyloglossia varied with age, which gradually decreased as age increased, while gender differences were not mentioned in the majority of literature. The morbidity ofankyloglossia of children with cleft lip and cleft palate was significantly higher than that of healthy children.ConclusionDue to strong subjectivity and the lack of a unified diagnosticstandard, the morbidity ofankyloglossia differed greatly among different age groupsin different regions by different scholars. Therefore, a unified standard for epidemiological investigation ofankyloglossia is urgently needed.
