[Clinical and diagnostic findings of sialolithiasis].

Introduction: Sialolithiasis is one of the most common diseases of the salivary glands. Within the scope of a retrospective analysis we report on our clinical and diagnostic findings in the largest patient group suffering from sialolithiasis reported in literature.

Material And Methods: Between 1987 and 1997, data from 635 patient histories and follow-up examinations were systematically collected and analysed to look for typical symptoms of sialolithiasis, locations of stones and possible risk factors.
