Sialolithiasis / Salivary Stones - Pathogenesis, Clinical features & Treatment

Sialolithiasis are calcified structures that are formed within salivary glands or its ducts. The exact mechanism of a sialolith is unclear but researches done up to date suggests that they may arise from a nidus or debris retained within the ductal lumen making its lumen partially blocked. This nidus provides a really good environment for the deposition of salivary minerals giving rise to a sialolith.
