His airway had been secured with a tracheostomy, and a gastric tube had been inserted; however, he continued to suffer from urinary tract infections, glossoptosis, and silent aspiration of saliva. Both the maxilla and mandible had very narrow dental arches, with the mandibular incisors exhibiting severe lingual inclination.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Course<\/jats:title><jats:p>We first corrected the dentition in the narrow maxillary arch, followed by the mandibular arch. As the dental alignment improved, tongue movements appeared during oral care, and endoscopy also revealed signs of an active saliva swallowing reflex.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The \u201ctraining approach\u201d generally used to treat severe dysphagia is usually impossible in persistently vegetative patients. In our patient, the tongue movements and saliva swallowing reflex appeared after we expanded the narrow dental arches, suggesting that an orthodontic approach can be effective in such cases. Our findings can be applied to similar cases of vegetative patients to facilitate better oral care and outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/scd.12556","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,27]],"date-time":"2020-12-27T19:17:11Z","timestamp":1609096631000},"page":"271-276","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Dysphagia in a persistently vegetative patient improved by orthodontic treatment of severe dental misalignment"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Atsuko","family":"Tamura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dysphagia Rehabilitation Tokyo Medical and Dental University  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7034-4402","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kohei","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dysphagia Rehabilitation Tokyo Medical and Dental University  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chantaramanee","family":"Ariya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dysphagia Rehabilitation Tokyo Medical and Dental University  Tokyo Japan"},{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry Naresuan University  Phitsanulok Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hisako","family":"Totoki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Freelance"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haruka","family":"Tohara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dysphagia Rehabilitation Tokyo Medical and Dental University  Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(72)90242-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9416(56)90017-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajodo.2008.07.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0889-5406(91)70113-B"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adaj.2016.08.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","first-page":"353","article-title":"An investigation into the relation of function and form","volume":"47","author":"Friel ES","year":"1926","journal-title":"Brit Dent J"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09602010443000506"},{"volume-title":"Contemporary Orthodontics","year":"2019","author":"Proffit W","key":"e_1_2_8_9_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.smrv.2016.01.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/82.4.383"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0889-5406(99)70324-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2015.07.032"},{"volume-title":"Dysphagia: Clinical Management in Adults and Children","year":"2015","author":"Grother ME","key":"e_1_2_8_14_1"}],"container-title":["Special Care in Dentistry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/scd.12556","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/scd.12556","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/scd.12556","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,3]],"date-time":"2023-09-03T04:59:19Z","timestamp":1693717159000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/scd.12556"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,27]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/scd.12556"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/scd.12556","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0275-1879","1754-4505"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0275-1879"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1754-4505"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,27]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2020-12-27","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
