摘要：

Aim: To test the hypothesis that dental malocclusion with mandibular misplacement may be a causative factor for recurrent parotitis (RP) through unbalancing of masticatory muscles. Methods: Thirteen patients (age 4-14 years) who were referred to a dental clinic for RP and malocclusion were treated by oral appliance positioning for a 6-month period. Monthly visits were scheduled regularly. Results: Symptoms were clearly improved in nine children. No effect was obtained in three patients. One patient was lost at follow-up. Conclusion: Occlusal intervention is effective in patients with RP and associated malocclusion. It should be considered an important option for the treatment of such intriguing disorder.
