Abstract

Subject: Salivary stone disease is a disease that occurs as a result of inflammatory processes occurring in the salivary glands. More recently, salivary stone disease was considered a rare disease. Thanks to the available modern methods of diagnosis, the detection of salivary stone disease is significantly progressing. Purpose: In our work we aimed to figure out the most effective methods of diagnosis of salivary stone disease . Among the private methods of radiation diagnosis of salivary stone disease, we have identified ultrasound and CT examination of the salivary glands and ducts. Our task was also to determine how conservative treatment is competitive with the surgical method of treatment of this disease. Results: As a result of our studies , we concluded that the ultrasound method in the diagnosis of inflammation of the salivary glands and the presence of concretions in the glands and ducts is highly informative , safe and accessible to patients . Conservative methods of treatment used in patients who were diagnosed with the presence of concretions at the outlet of the salivary gland ducts are no less effective than surgical methods. Surgical treatment of salivary stone disease is advisable only in cases of block of the salivary gland and ducts concretions more than 0.5 cm in diameter. Conclusion: Salivary Stone disease in our medical institution is diagnosed quite often. The method of ultrasound diagnosis is the main method of examination of patients who came to us with symptoms of salivary stone disease. CT method is advisable to carry out patients in need of surgical treatment of the disease. The method of CT diagnosis allows to establish the exact coordinates and sizes of concretions located in the salivary glands and deep in the ducts.
