Introduction: Sialolithiasis remains a clinical problem with unclear etiopathogenesis, lack of prevention methods, and only surgical treatment. Materials and Methods: An ultrastructure examination of submandibular sialoliths obtained from patients with chronic sialolithiasis was conducted using a scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results: Based on the results, we divided sialoliths into three types: calcified (CAL), organic/lipid (LIP), and mixed (MIX). The core structure of the CAL and MIX is very similar. The core of the LIP has a prevalence of organic components. The intermediate layers' structure of the CAL is different from LIP and MIX. In LIP and MIX, the organic component begins to increase in intermediate layers rapidly. The structure of the superficial layers for all types of sialoliths is similar. Conclusions: We introduced a new classification of the submandibular salivary gland stones. Based on the results, it can be said that sialoliths type CAL and LIP have their separate path of origin and development, while MIX is formed as CAL stone, and the further pathway of their growth passes as LIP stones. Organic components were much more than inorganic in all layers of salivary gland stones, which highly prevents their dissolution in the patient's salivary gland duct.

“…The second phase consists of the layered deposition of organic and non-organic material. Submandibular sialoliths are thought to be formed around a nidus of mucus, whereas parotid sialoliths are thought to be formed around a nidus of inflammatory cells or a foreign body (5,6). Salivary calculi are usually small and measure from 1 mm to less than 1 cm.…”

“…Sialolithiasis, also termed salivary calculi or salivary stone formation, is due to deposition of calcium salts around a central nidus which may consist of altered salivary mucins, desquamated epithelial cells, bacteria, foreign bodies, or products of bacterial decomposition (4)(5)(6). It is the most common cause of salivary gland obstruction.…”

“…The chemical composition consists mainly of microcrystalline apatite or whitlockite. Apatite is the most prevalent component present throughout the stone, while whitlockite is mainly found in the core (4,5). Submandibular stones are composed of 82% inorganic and 18% organic material, whereas parotid stones are composed of 49% inorganic and 51% organic material (6).…”

Solitary parotid duct sialolith in a patient with Sjörgren’s syndrome: Report of a case

Sjörgren's syndrome is an uncommon chronic autoimmune disorder that affects exocrine glands. Sialolithiasis is an obstructive salivary gland disease which is also uncommon in the parotid salivary gland. The existing literature has documented the occurrence of multiple calcifications within the parenchyma of the parotid glands in patients with Sjörgren's syndrome. This report describes the first case of right parotid duct solitary sialolith formation in a 64 year old female patient with Sjörgren's syndrome. Whether the salivary stone encountered in this case represents an oral manifestation of Sjörgren's syndrome or is just a co-incidental finding was discussed.

“…Sialolith is a calcified structure of salivary glands, often causes acute and chronic infection and obstruction of salivary gland duct (Im et al, 2017). The sialoliths is usually seen in the submandibular gland around 80-90 percent, followed by the parotid gland 5-20 percent (Lustmann et al, 1990;Matsunobu et al, 2014).…”

Objective: Sialolith is one of the most common causes of salivary gland obstruction and often leads to sialadenitis. It usually seen in the submandibular gland around 80-90 percent. In this retrospective study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate the treatment of sialoliths in different parts of the Wharton duct with transoral approach using minimally invasive techniques. Methods: After the clinical and radiological examination of eight patients, six male and two female patients, transoral removal of sialoliths detected in Wharton duct was decided. All surgical interventions were performed with a transoral approach using minimally invasive surgical techniques. Six patients were treated under general anesthesia and two patients were treated under local anesthesia. Results: 8 patients aged between 29-81 years who were transoral surgically removed Wharton duct stones. During the 20-month follow-up period, no intraoperative or post-operative complications such as bleeding and lingual nerve injury were observed. According to the results of the survey, 75% of the patients were very satisfied, 12.5% were satisfied and 12.5% were dissatisfied with the result. Conclusion: The transoral approach may be considered as a more effective option for the treatment of Wharton duct sialoliths because of the high success rate and the wider use indication compared to noninvasive procedures such as ESWL and sialendoscopy.
