Journal Title: National Journal of Medical and Dental Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Sialolithiasis refers to the formation of calcareous concentration or sialoliths in the salivary duct leading to obstruction of the salivary flow, resulting in salivary ectasia, sometimes even dialation of the salivary gland. Sialolithiasis are the most common diseases of the major salivary glands after mumps. Submandibular salivary gland is commonly involved. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of salivary calculi is not well known. Sialoliths are usually small and measure from 1 mm to less than 1 cm in size. In this paper, we present two cases of submandibular duct sialolith with their diagnosis and surgical management.
