Necrotizing Sialometaplasia (NS) is a rare, self-limiting inflammatory condition primarily affecting the minor salivary glands of the palate, accounting for less than 1% of salivary gland diseases. Trauma-induced ischemia and chemical irritation, particularly from gastric acid reflux, have been suggested as potential contributing factors. This study presents a case of NS in a 17-year-old female following the placement of a palatal breaker appliance, exploring its possible association with mechanical trauma and comparing it with existing literature.
