ABSTRACT
Sialolithiasis is a pathological condition
caused by the obstruction of a salivary gland
or its excretory duct by the development of
salivary stones or calculus [1]. It is the most
common salivary gland disease accounting
for more than 50% of the cases [2, 3]. It has
an incidence of about 0.012% in the adult
population. It may occur at any age but
there is a peak incidence in fourth, fifth and
sixth decades. Publication date: 01/12/2020 https://ijbpas.com/pdf/2020/December/MS_IJBPAS_2020_5331.pdfDownload PDFhttps://doi.org/10.31032/IJBPAS/2020/9.12.5331
