Abstract
The sialolithiasis is a relatively common clinical condition characterized by obstruction of the salivary gland or its excretory duct by a calculus, which receives the name of sialolith. It can occur in any age group, with a slight predilection for men and affects mainly the submandibular gland. The diagnosis is made by the correlation between clinical and radiographic findings, and occlusal and panoramic radiographs are the most suitable for this purpose. This article reports a rare case of perforation of the floor of the mouth by a large salivary calculus in the Wharton's duct, which was removed surgically by intraoral via through of incision in the mouth floor.
