Congenital adhesions between different parts of the oral cavity rarely occur. These adhesions usually present difficulty in feeding and even respiration soon after birth. In the case presented here the mild form of gum synechia without associated congenital anomaly was treated by excision of the anterior and posterior alveolar bands. Potential jaw and temporomandibular joint development was not compromised and functional problems were eliminated with such a noninvasive procedure.
口腔不同部位之间的先天性粘连很少见。这些粘连通常在出生后不久就会在进食甚至呼吸方面造成困难。在本文所述病例中，通过切除前后牙槽带治疗了轻度牙龈粘连且无相关先天性异常的情况。潜在的颌骨和颞下颌关节发育并未受到影响，并且通过这种非侵入性手术消除了功能问题。
