An intraoral nighttime feeding attachment for patients with glycogen storage disease, types I and III

A simple type of attachment that any dentist can construct for patients with glycogen storage disease, types I and III, has been used successfully. The main benefit of this attachment is that the patient no longer needs a nasogastric tube at night, thus avoiding a great deal of discomfort and irritation. Although this procedure cannot be considered a cure, it is a new, important aid in treatment of these patients and a help to their parents.
