PAPERAS - Cómo se CONTAGIA y TRATAMIENTO - Glándulas salivales y SIALOLITIASIS | Dentalk! ©

Mumps and sialolithiasis are two common salivary gland disorders. But why do they occur? Is there a treatment? We explain it here. 0) Introduction 00:00. We discuss the causes of sialolithiasis and parotitis (mumps) and the treatment of these diseases in this Dentalk video from Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas (http://j.mp/cPardinas). 1) What is sialolithiasis? 00:18. Stones or sialoliths are mineral deposits that originate in the salivary ducts and can obstruct the flow of saliva. When the water concentration in saliva decreases, various components present in it, such as phosphates, calcium, magnesium, etc., can precipitate and form small mineral stones, leading to a disorder known as sialolithiasis 👉 https://bit.ly/sialolitiasisCP. 1a) What symptoms does sialolithiasis cause? 00:45. When saliva cannot flow through its duct, an obstruction occurs in the duct or in the salivary glands themselves, which can lead to a bacterial infection with symptoms such as swelling, redness, and pain, either continuous or upon palpation. 1b) Which glands does sialolithiasis affect? ​​01:00. It can affect any of the major salivary glands, such as the sublingual, submandibular, and parotid glands. 1c) How to prevent the formation of salivary stones 01:08. One way to prevent sialolithiasis is to maintain proper hydration, since saliva is composed of 98% water. 2) Treatment of sialolithiasis 01:17. If the cause of the obstruction of the salivary duct or gland is a salivary stone, it must be removed to restore normal flow. 2a) Sialoendoscopy 01:25. One of the techniques used to treat sialolithiasis is endoscopy. This technique, called sialoendoscopy, involves inserting a device through the salivary duct until it reaches the area where the stone is located, and using forceps to grasp and extract it. 2b) Extraction Surgery 01:41. If the stone is too large, surgical extraction may be necessary, accessing the salivary duct directly to remove the stone. In case of an associated bacterial infection, antibiotics and anti-inflammatories may be required. 3) Mumps, another salivary gland disorder 01:59. Mumps is a contagious disease caused by the Paramyxoviridae virus and localized in one or both parotid glands 👉 https://bit.ly/paperasCP. 3a) What is the parotid gland? 02:10. The parotid gland is one of the main glands responsible for saliva production in the body. It is located on both sides of the face, just above the jaw and below the ear. 3b) How is the Paramyxoviridae virus transmitted? 02:30. This infection is transmitted by inhaling saliva droplets in the air from people previously infected with this virus. It has an incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks, so it is not usually easy to determine when infection occurred. 3c) Who does it usually affect? ​​02:44. Mumps is a common childhood illness, although adults can also get it. 3d) Symptoms of mumps 02:50. Mumps can cause swelling of the salivary glands, pain when chewing or swallowing, fever, headaches, muscle aches, and even loss of appetite. This viral disease can also affect other glands in the body and even the testicles. 4) Mumps Treatment 03:07. There is no effective treatment for mumps, so it is generally necessary to wait for the disease to run its course naturally. During this time, the patient is usually advised to take paracetamol. Mumps typically lasts around 15 days and does not usually leave serious aftereffects, except for infertility in some cases involving the testicles. 4a) Is it possible to prevent mumps? 03:33. The MMR vaccine is routinely given to children during their first year of life and should be repeated around age 6. This vaccine provides active immunity against mumps, measles, and rubella. 5) Can we help you? 03:51. If you live in A Coruña, at Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas we are specialists in this area.
