Modern people tend to prefer soft food, and it is a clinical concern that such eating habits may have unfavorable influences on the oral tissues. Therefore, the authors have been focusing on salivary glands and morphologically investigating the effects of soft food on them.In rats fed a liquid diet, parotid gland weight reduced, and shrinkage of acinar cells was histologically observed. Apoptotic acinar cells were commonly identified by transmission electron microscopy, and proliferative activity of acinar cells decreased, indicating that acinar cells reduced in number in the atrophic parotid glands. In growing rats fed a liquid diet after weaning, the growth of parotid glands was inhibited. However, there were no or extremely slight influences of liquid diet feeding on other salivary glands such as submandibular, sublingual, and palatine glands. The above observations show that soft food negatively affects parotid glands much more than other salivary glands. The authors would like to discuss why the response of parotid glands to soft food is different from other salivary glands in this review.
