Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, The Malabar Dental College, Malappuram, Kerala, India.
Article Synopsis
- Sialoliths are hard, calcified deposits in the salivary glands, with giant ones being over 3.5 cm, although most are smaller.
- A patient experienced two years of pain and swelling in the right submandibular area, worsening during meals, leading to a diagnosis through clinical and imaging studies.
- A large sialolith was effectively removed using a minimally invasive technique, resulting in symptom relief; newer treatment methods are emerging, but transoral sialolithotomy remains the primary approach.
