In the tissues of the salivary glands, salivary gland or duct stones or calcium deposits that occur in sialolit, if sialolitiazis to the formation of salivary stones is called.
The most common benign diseases of the salivary glands and salivary gland stones 1% of the population is observed. More often in males compared to females in the middle - age group in the common salivary gland stones in children and rarely occurs. Typically, only the stones in the salivary glands, and is observed with a single stone, though more than one may be more than one stone in the salivary gland.
Salivary gland stones of 80-90% at a rate of under the chin (submandibu) while watching in the salivary glands of 10-15% of the front of the ears (Parotid), and very rarely the sublingual (sublingual) and minor (minor) salivary glands is observed. Generally the larger stones in the salivary glands under the jaw that occur when the salivary duct and is detected in front of the ears (Parotid glands, salivary stones in smaller-scale, multiple, and often are located in the salivary gland tissue.
Salivary gland under the jaw discharge channels (Wharton's duct) other ducts of the glands in multiple areas show the tilting of the channel from the mouth of the opening of the mouth (Punk was) to be narrow in the opposite direction according to the gravity of the epidemic, such as structural features, in addition to the secretion of this gland and salivary glands and low levels of acidity due to submandibu contain more calcium in the urine.
What Causes Salivary Gland Stones?
The stones are collected in the formation of salivary gland ducts, and are generally dependent on different factors the effect of infection increased by the accumulation of dead cell debris within the stone it is accepted that lead to the formation of calcium and phosphate. Which cause darkening to a decrease in saliva secretion or inadequate fluid intake, excessive fluid loss, and conditions such as eating disorders and some medications increases the risk of stone formation. First, microscopic size, which causes obstruction and accumulation of minerals on the stones in small channels and cell debris in the vicinity of 1 mm per year on average grew and, in time, the major salivary ducts and reaches heights that I refused to create a complaint.
The most important complaint of patients with salivary gland stones, especially at the bottom or front of the ear and under the chin during the meal are painful swellings occur. In cases of inflammation of the skin with the stones over the area of swelling, redness, fever, swollen glands, growth and the opening of the salivary ducts in the mouth to cause inflammation of the area of complaints are monitored.
