Dentists are aware of the extraordinary influence an active thrusting tongue can have on dental development. In the presence of the profound muscle hypertrophy characteristic of macroglossia in the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, a compelling need exists for surgical reduction of the tongue as early in life as possible. This report describes our clinical experience with 3 children, 1 referred late and the other 2 treated within the first year of life.
牙医们都知道，活跃前伸的舌头对牙齿发育会产生极大影响。在患有贝克威思-维德曼综合征的巨舌症所特有的严重肌肉肥大情况下，迫切需要尽早对舌头进行手术缩减。本报告描述了我们对3名儿童的临床经验，其中1名转诊较晚，另外2名在出生后第一年内接受了治疗。
