Abstract


Sialolithiasis is the most frequent cause of salivary gland swelling, affecting the major salivary glands: parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. The condition predominantly affects individuals of 30 to 60 years old and is more common in males. The most common symptoms are meal-related pain and cyclical swelling of the glands. Information on pathogenesis, histology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and therapy will be given.
