Resumen
Anquiloglosia es la presencia de un frenillo lingual corto que impide el correcto desarrollo de los movimientos de la lengua y a su vez afectando de manera inmediata a las funciones fisiológicas descritas anteriormente. El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar la prevalencia de frenillo lingual corto en niños de 3 a 10 años de edad atendidos en la clínica de odontopediatría de la Universidad de Guayaquil CI 2019-2020. El método utilizado fue el analítico descriptivo porque los datos se obtuvieron en base a información recopilada de las historias clínicas, se considera de tipo transversal debido a que se realizó en un periodo de tiempo determinado. Como instrumento se creó una ficha que detalla información como género, el nivel de higiene oral de los pacientes y el tipo de deglución que presentaron. Los resultados indicaron que a pesar de que la prevalencia existente es realmente baja los pacientes que presentaron esta anomalía no se les indico el tratamiento adecuado para solucionar la problemática. Se llegó a la conclusión que el sexo con mayor prevalencia fue el masculino con un 71% a diferencia del sexo femenino, lo cual afirmo la hipótesis propuesta y sin embargo se indicó que un 71.42% de los pacientes con frenillo lingual corto gozaban de una buena higiene oral para la cual se tomó como base el Índice de Higiene Oral Simplificada.
