Treatment of a drooling habit in Congenital Muscular Dystrophy with a palatal training plate. A case report

This case report describes the treatment of persistent drooling in a 5-year-old child with autosomal recessive Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. The drooling was successfully treated with a simple removable palatal training appliance. It is believed that this is the first reported case of the treatment of drooling in a patient with Muscular Dystrophy by this method. Further research and development is needed on the use of training plates and physiotherapy in the treatment of drooling in muscular dystrophies.
