Glycosaminoglycans in human salivary-duct stones

Archives of Oral Biology, 1987
These were demonstrated using histochemical and biochemical techniques. The presence of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate was confirmed by enzymic digestion. These substances may arise from inflammation in peri-ductal tissue.

Diagnosing Salivary Stones

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1991
Sialolithiasis, or the formation of sialoliths or salivary stones, typically occurs in the ducts of the submandibular and parotid glands of middle-aged adults. Pain and swelling are often among the first signs and symptoms. Obstructive sialadentitis, epidemic parotitis (mumps) and salivary gland tumors, should all be included in the differential ...

Sialolithiasis: An Unusually Large Salivary Stone

Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, 2019
Sialolithiasis is characterized by obstruction of a salivary gland or its duct due to the formation of calcareous concretions, leading to recurrent painful swelling of the involved gland. It is aggravated while eating. Submandibular gland is the most commonly affected gland. The size of the sialolith may range from 1 to 10 mm.

Removal of salivary stones with the aid of a lithotriptor

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 1989
The feasibility of removal of salivary calculi with the aid of high energy shock waves was investigated. The postulation was, that salivary stones can be fragmented and no harm will be done to the surrounding tissues. An in vitro experiment was done with a lithotriptor to test the effect on a salivary stone and an extracted upper molar containing an ...

Treatment of salivary stones by extracorporeal lithotripsy

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1996
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of extracorporeal lithotripsy (ECL) in the treatment of salivary stones.In a prospective study, an additional 15 patients suffering from sialolithiasis were treated by applying extracorporeally generated shock waves. No patients needed general anaesthesia, sedatives, or analgesics.Treatment was effective

Salivary stones: innovative techniques in diagnosis and treatment

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2003
During the last decade, minimally invasive and nonsurgical techniques of diagnosing and treating salivary gland duct stones have rapidly evolved. Physicians have developed alternative treatments beyond the sole use of invasive conventional surgery. Techniques and equipment have been specifically developed to deal with ductal lithiasis.

Salivary gland stones: diagnosis and treatment

Hospital Medicine, 2001
Salivary calculi are a common cause of salivary gland disorder and may occur in any of the salivary glands and at almost any age. The stones may be small and intraductal or lie within the gland substance when they may become very large. They cause symptoms by obstructing salivary flow.

Migrating salivary stones: report of three cases

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2005
Patients with salivary calculi are normally managed by removal of the calculus or, if necessary, the affected gland. If it is left untreated, a stone may migrate into the adjacent tissues. We present three patients in whom salivary calculi tracked to the surface of the skin.
