“…Various authors have described imaging methods that can help in making the final diagnosis. A near unanimity of authors consider US the first choice among all available imaging resources in the detection of diseases of the salivary glands [5,7,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, the majority of the scholars only refer to its indications, advantages and disadvantages in relation to other imaging examinations.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of ultrasonography in the establishment of the diagnosis of nonspecific nodular lesions of the oral soft tissues. We determined the indication of use and reliability of ultrasonography in the field of dentistry, considering whether it was of value in the conclusive diagnosis of these pathologies. Materials and Methods We recruited 65 patients from the Oral Medicine Unit of São Lucas Hospital, who had submucosal and subcutaneous nodules, without established diagnosis. They were subjected to ultrasonography of the lesion, carried out with standardization of the protocol and equipment, utilizing a Doppler system. The ultrasonographic report was prepared by an experienced professional, noting the imaging characteristics as well as the possibility of diagnosis. Two calibrated examiners analyzed the data, comparing the ultrasonographic report with the final diagnosis. Accordingly, we used established scoring, where zero corresponded to no contribution to the final diagnosis, 1 helped in the management of the case, and 2 when imaging determined the diagnosis. Results A zero score was obtained for 12.3 % of the examinations performed, and 1 and 2 accounted for respectively 41.5 and 46.1 %, totaling a contribution of about 88 %. Ultrasonography was of value in the diagnosis of vascular lesions in 93.3 % and of neoplasms in 87.5 %. In the salivary gland diseases, it contributed to the final diagnosis in 75 %. Conclusion The results demonstrated that ultrasonography is an effective tool in the determination of the definitive diagnosis of nonspecific nodular lesions of the soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.

“…All of these imaging modalities are sensitive to calculi and can demonstrate sialoliths with high accuracy. In a review of 185 patients with salivary gland calculi, ultrasonography identified and localized the calculi correctly in 94 % of patients [7]. Because of ease of access, reliability and lack of morbidity, ultrasonography is the first line imaging modality in most clinical situations [8].…”

We performed a retrospective analysis to review the results and complications of sialendoscopy and to identify the overall success rate of mechanical stone retrieval without fragmentation in our patients with sialolithiasis. Between 2009 and 2011, 33 patients with sialolithiasis underwent interventional sialendoscopy. Patients with sialoliths larger than 7 mm in the Wharton's duct and 5 mm in the Stensen's duct or intraparenchymal stones were not included in this study. Grasping forceps, wire baskets and graspers was used for stone removal. The mean age at presentation was 41.7 (range, 29-62) years with a male to female ratio of approximately 1:2. The average size of the stones ranged from 2 to 6 mm. The overall success rate for endoscopic stone retrieval was 78 % (26 of 33) and three patients required a combined approach with intraoral incisions for stone removal. The major complication rate was 3 % (1 of 33) caused by submandibular duct perforation. The endoscopic retrieval of salivary stones is a safe and effective technique in selected cases. As instruments for stone fragmentation are expensive and not available everywhere, selecting patients with small and medium sized stones could lead to successful results in majority of cases.
