Sialolithiasis. A survey on 245 patients and a review of the literature

J Lustmann et al. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 1990 Jun.

Abstract

245 patients with sialolithiasis, treated during a period of 20 years, were evaluated and the literature has been reviewed. The submandibular gland was involved in 231 patients, the parotid gland in 11 patients, and the sublingual gland only in 1 patient. There is some indication that patients with sialolithiasis are more prone to develop nephrolithiasis. A relationship with other systemic disorders could not be detected. Laser treatment seems to be a promising treatment modality for stone removal, even in acute phases.
