“…The most common symptom of obstructive sialadenitis is recurrent, usually painful swelling of the salivary gland during meals, while chronic inflammatory disorders such as Sjögren’s syndrome, chronic recurrent parotitis, and juvenile parotitis are more often characterized by intermittent, mildly tender swelling of the gland(s) that sometimes persists for days [7, 8]. Both disorders may be complicated by bacterial infections [8].…”

While the therapeutic benefits of sialendoscopy have been demonstrated in many studies and reviews [911], the effects of sialadenitis and sialendoscopic intervention on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) have been investigated less often.…”

“…The submandibular glands are the most commonly affected glands (80-90%), followed by the parotid glands (5-20%) and the sublingual glands (very rare) [1,2,8]. The predominant prevalence in the submandibular gland occurs because Wharton's duct has a longer course and a larger diameter than Stenson's duct; thus, saliva flows against gravity and has a more viscous composition with a higher calcium and mucin content in this gland than in other salivary glands [9,10].…”
