Congenital aplasia of the major salivary glands is rare, and there have been few cases of the condition reported to date. In many cases, absence of the salivary glands is associated with syndromes involving the ectodermal tissues. The xerostomia encountered in affected children is usually associated with increased risk for caries and infections of the soft tissues. The purpose of this paper was to describe the case of a 10-year-old boy with bilateral aplasia of the submandibular and parotid salivary glands and the preventive and restorative treatment rendered. This case study demonstrates the importance of timely diagnosis of this condition in order to prevent the serious oral complications from xerostomia.
先天性大唾液腺发育不全较为罕见，迄今为止报道的病例较少。在许多情况下，唾液腺缺失与涉及外胚层组织的综合征有关。患病儿童出现的口干通常与龋齿和软组织感染风险增加有关。本文旨在描述一名10岁男孩双侧下颌下腺和腮腺发育不全的病例以及所采取的预防和修复治疗措施。本病例研究证明了及时诊断该病症对于预防口干引起的严重口腔并发症的重要性。
