High impact information on Salivary Gland Calculi

  • A micro-focus X-ray diffractometer was applied to a ground section of sialolith, and localization of brushite and whitlockite was found [1].
  • RESULTS: Eighteen sialoliths exhibited similar macro and microstructure, being constituted by hydroxyapatite (HAP) and organic matter, normally arranged in a multilayer structure [2].
  • METHODS: The composition and structure of 21 sialoliths were studied and the composition of the saliva of each corresponding patient was determined (pH, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, citrate and phytate) [2].
  • Stone location was distal to the edge of the mylohyoid muscle in 115 patients and proximal to the gland in 102 patients (mean size of sialoliths, 6.3 mm [range, 2-30 mm]) [3].
  • All of the sialoliths localized in the ducts in the submandibular gland consisted of hydroxylapatite [4].
