The case of a 4-year-old girl with marked xerostomia and rampant caries is described. Investigation revealed complete aplasia of all four major salivary glands, which is extremely rare. Eleven primary teeth were extracted and a strict caries-preventive regime introduced. The patient had previously been advised to suck citrus-flavoured sweets to stimulate saliva flow, but this must be discouraged.
本文描述了一名患有严重口干症和猖獗性龋齿的4岁女孩的病例。检查发现其四大主要唾液腺完全发育不全，这极为罕见。拔除了11颗乳牙，并实施了严格的防龋措施。该患者此前曾被建议吮吸柑橘味糖果以刺激唾液分泌，但这种做法必须予以劝阻。
