RESUMO
Self-induced pneumoparotitis has not been commonly associated with orthodontic treatment nor dental treatment in general. However, the patient described previously and the other reported cases demonstrate the distinct possibility that accommodation to appliance irritation by "puffing out" the cheeks could result in parotid swelling. Pneumoparotitis should definitely be considered in the evaluation of patients with parotid swelling, particularly in cases of unexplained swelling with rapid onset.

This case of small malformed maxillary second premolars was treated without loss of teeth, without apparent compromise of periodontal health, and without major compromise of occlusion. A combination of orthodontic positioning of the teeth and recontouring with restorative dental treatment produced an expedient result that was esthetically pleasing as well as functional, biologically acceptable, and stable.
