Lactoferrin and the development of salivary stones: a pilot study. [PDF]
Biometals, 2023 Salivary stones (sialoliths) are calcified structures located in the ductal system of the major salivary glands. Their exact cause is not clear but in general they are characterized by concentric inorganic (hydroxyapatite) layers. The formation is a slow

Bacterial Biofilm in Salivary Gland Stones [PDF]
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2016 ObjectiveThe pathogenesis of salivary calculi is not yet clear; however, 2 theories have been formulated: (1) “the classic theory,” based on calcium microdeposits in serous and ductal acinous cells, successively discharged into the ducts; (2) “the retrograde theory,” based on a retrograde migration of food, bacteria, and so on from the oral cavity to ...

Summary of: Salivary stones: symptoms, aetiology, biochemical composition and treatment
, 2014 Salivary stones, also known as sialoliths, are calcified concrements in the salivary glands. Sialoliths are more frequently located in the submandibular gland (84%), than in the parotid gland (13%). The majority of the submandibular stones are located in
