“…Sialolithiasis is the second most common disease of the salivary gland after mumps. [ 1 ] The usual clinical presentation of sialoliths is round or ovoid, rough or smooth and chalky white/yellow in colour affecting unilaterally with a size from 1 to <10 mm, with a mean size reported as 6–9 mm.

The Rationale: Sialoliths are calcified organic matter that form within the secretory system of the salivary glands. They rarely measure more than 1.5 cm. Giant sialoliths are rare and defined as a size of 3.5 cm or larger. Patient concerns: Patient complained of the pain and swelling in the right submandibular area for two years with increase in size during meals. Diagnosis: Based on the clinical and radiological investigations. Treatment: Sialolith measuring 39 mm and weighing 7.02 g, was removed in a minimally invasive manner through transoral sialolithotomy using diode 810 µm LASER unit under local anaesthesia. Outcomes: Patient was relieved of the preoperative symptoms and was on follow-up for one year. Take-Away Lessons: Various newer treatment modalities are effective alternatives to conventional surgical treatment of sialoliths. However, transoral sialolithotomy remains the mainstay of management.

Sialolithiasis is relatively common in dental practice. It most commonly affects the major salivary glands, particularly the submandibular glands. Young adults between the third and fourth decades of life are the most affected. The swelling of the oral floor region, caused by salivary retention due to the sialolith within the salivary duct, as well as the observation of its presence by transparency can clinically characterize it. Additionally, radiopaque imaging can determine the final diagnosis. Most of the time, the treatment is surgical. The purpose of this article is to present the case of a patient with painful symptoms caused by a sialolithiasis in the sublingual duct. Surgical removal was performed. The patient has been followed with no signs of recurrence.

Sialolithiasis along with sialadenitis is one of the commonly occurring salivary gland disorders. Sialadenitis is an inflammatory disease of the salivary glands. It usually occurs insidiously causing pain to the patient and may lead to development of fibrous mass of the salivary gland. The cause of sialadenitis is most commonly due to the salivary duct caliculi which is termed as sialolith or salivary stones which causes statis of saliva in the ducts. This condition is usually accompanied by pain and tenderness of the involved site. Therefore, we report a case of a male patient aged 60 years with pain in the floor of the mouth in the submandibular region which was diagnosed as submandibular sialolithiasis along with sialadenitis and propose a diagnostic algorithm.
