-==Overview==
-'''Sialolithiasis''' refers to the formation of stones in the [[salivary glands]]. Stones are most commonly found in the [[submandibular gland]] and [[parotid gland]], where stones can obstruct [[Submandibular duct|Wharton's duct]] and [[Stenson's duct]] respectively.
-==Causes==
-It is frequently associated with chronic infection (''[[Staphylococcus aureus]], [[Streptococcus viridans]]'') of the glands, dehydration ([[phenothiazine]]s), [[Sjögren's syndrome]] and/or increased local levels of calcium, but in many cases can arise [[idiopathic]]ally.
-==Natural History, Complications and Prognosis==
+{{SK}} Salivary calculus; salivary duct stone; salivary duct calculus
-Complications include persistent obstruction of the duct, leading to bacterial invasion, overgrowth and infection ([[sialoadenitis]]). This can require IV antibiotics such as [[nafcillin]], and sometimes surgical drainage.

-Pain, when present, usually originates from the floor of the mouth, although in many cases the stones cause only intermittent swelling.
-===Physical Examination===
+==Treatment==
-Since [[mastication|chewing]] promotes release of saliva, symptoms tend to increase during meals. A palpable lump or visible swelling in the area of the gland is often noted.

-===X Ray===
-Diagnosis is usually made by characteristic history and physical examination. Diagnosis can be confirmed by [[x-ray]] (80% of salivary gland calculi are visible on x-ray), or by [[sialogram]] or ultrasound.
+== Case Studies ==
-== Treatment ==
+[[Sialolithiasis case study one|Case #1]]
-===Medical Therapy===
-Some current treatment options are:
-* For small stones, hydration, moist heat, [[NSAID]]s occasionally, and having the patient take any food or beverage that is bitter and/or sour. Sucking on citrus fruits, such as a lemon or orange, may increase [[salivation]] and promote spontaneous expulsion of the stone.
-* [[Sialendoscopy]]
-* To prevent infection while the stone is lodged in the duct, sometimes antibiotics are used. In some cases when stones continually reoccur the offending salivary duct is removed.
-===Surgery===
-* Some stones may be massaged out by a specialist.
-* An [[Otolaryngology|ENT]] or [[Oral and maxillofacial surgeon|maxillofacial surgeon]] may [[canula]]te the duct to remove the stone (sialotomy).
-* A surgeon may make a small incision near the stone to remove it.[[File:Salivary gland stone removed.jpeg|thumb|Salivary gland stone and the hole left behind from the operation]]
