2007
Sialolith is a slow-growing calcified mass that grows in
salivary glands or in their ducts. It is generally asymptomatic
and of slow progress. Diagnosis methods include
inspection and palpation, besides verifying the quantity
and quality of the saliva secreted. The radiographic examination
is a additional and useful method to confirm
sialolithiasis. The objective of this work is to carry out a
brief bibliographical review about sialolith, highlighting
the importance of methods in order to obtain a successful
treatment, as well as to describe the surgical technique
to be accomplished for removal of these calcifications
along with the presentation of a clinical case.
