“…Further, chronic recurrent duct obliteration is able to bring about inflammation and infection. 3,10 In cases with small stones, conservative management can be used along with local heat, massage, and sialogogues. Infections should be treated with antibiotics together with simple sialolithotomy if needed.…”

“…Sialolithiasis mostly occurs in the major salivary glands and refers to the presence of calcified structures within the duct of major or minor salivary glands. 3 The exact etiology of sialolith is unknown, but some researchers believe that sialolith is the result of salivary stasis and spasmodic contractions of the ducts due to factors such as saliva properties, chemical changes, salivary accumulation, foreign bodies, bacterial infections, and inflammation. 4 Features such as longer length of the major duct and consistency and characteristics of the saliva secreted by the submandibular gland have caused most of the obstructions appear in this gland.…”

A sialolitíase é uma das doenças mais comuns das glândulas salivares. Os sialólitos geralmente ocorrem nos ductos submandibulares ou na glândula e são classificados como de tamanho incomum ou sialólitos “gigantes” caso qualquer dimensão exceda 15 mm. Esse trabalho tem por objetivo relatar um caso clínico de sialólito localizado em glândula submandibular, bem como discutir a literatura pertinente sobre o tema. Paciente do sexo feminino, 68 anos, compareceu serviço de CTBMF do Hospital de Trauma de Campina Grande, queixando-se de incômodo e episódios dor, vermelhidão em região submandibular esquerda e boca seca. Uma massa calcificada com medidas 16 x 10 mm foi evidenciado através de uma tomografia computadorizada, no trajeto do ducto da glândula submandibular esquerda. Foi realizado a exérese do cálculo salivar, sob anestesia geral. Após acesso e remoção do mesmo, foi feita a instalação de um jelco nº 16 para auxiliar a reepetilização do local a fim de manter a patência do ducto envolvido. Portanto, a correta avaliação tendo em vista a localização e o tamanho do sialólito, é indispensável para o plano de tratamento e a boa execução, neste caso, a excisão cirúrgica do sialólito foi a técnica considerada e resultados positivos foram obtidos.

In‐vitro experimental parametric studies of laser ablation using natural sialoliths and artificial stones have been performed toward an efficient laser treatment of sialolithiasis. Surface microstructure and water adsorption become critical for coupling high power pulsed Ho:YAG laser radiation (λ = 2080 nm, τ ∼250 μsec), inducing ablative interactions and stone fragmentation. Results reveal a generic trend, with single pulse laser energy density threshold for sialolith ablative erosion at ∼200 J cm−2 (corresponding to intensity ∼800 kW cm−2) and fragmentation rates reaching ∼1 mm/pulse at ∼2400 J cm−2. This process shows no saturation, suggesting that very high energy density irradiation at low pulse repetition rate is an efficient approach. Such operation facilitates rapid cooling and minimal thermal loading of the oral and maxillofacial area, thus causing negligible adverse effects. The method is expected to contribute to the establishment of an easy and optimal therapeutic protocol for sialolithiasis pathology.
