Abstract

Sialolithiasis is described as the existence of calcified structures in ducts of salivary glands and is the most widespread disease of the salivary glands. 80-95 % of sialoliths occur at the submandibular salivary gland. Sialoliths with an average frequency of occurrence of 12: 1000 are approximately twice as common in men as in women. Sialoliths may be diagnosed with clinical examination, conventional radiography, computed tomography and ultrasonography. Common clinical signs in cases of sialoliths include painless swelling, large swelling often accompanied by trismus associated with eating, symptoms ranging from moderate discomfort to severe pain. In this case report clinical, radiological signs and surgical therapy of salivary stone in the submandibular gland is represented.
