Kathleen, we have good information in the UK...would this help you 
convince your docs?

You can see our NICE (National Institute of Health and Clinical 
Excellence) guidelines on this :

http://guidance.nice.org.uk/IPG149

and a good paper published recently:

There have been RCTs and a considerable number of other studies.

>Hi!
>Over a year ago, when I attended part of the ABM conference in 
>Chicago, a speaker reported that they were about to publish their 
>new Ankyloglossia protocol.  It has yet to be published, and when I 
>have emailed to inquire about it at ABM, I have never gotten a 
>response.

>I know  this is a controversial subject, but it sure would help to 
>have some up-to-date evidence based information available on their 
>web site.   Does anyone know what the delay is?  Perhaps they don't 
>feel they have enough quality research to do it?

>Still struggling with physicians who are asking for substantial 
>research and information, and not sure what to do about it.

>Appreciate any input on this!
