Abstract | ABSTRACT salivary gland stones constitute a major health problem especially when a major gland is involved. When the stones occupy a large portion of the gland, the whole gland maybe partially or totally excised. Removal of gland results in decreased salivary flow (Xerostomia) which results in gingivitis, difficulty in swallowing and speech. In this case, the stone is formed in the duct so fortunately the gland is saved regardless of the immense size of the stone compared with the relatively young patient. KEYWORDS: Aljabry, huge sialolith, submandibular. |
