Overview
There is no established system for the classification of sialolithiasis, but it may be classified according to the location of the stone, submandibular glands, parotid glands, and sublinguals or minor salivary glands ; or radiographic charachteristics: radiopaque, or radiolucent.
Classification
- There is no established system for the classification of sialolithiasis, but sialolithiasis may be classified according to location of the stone.[1]
| Gland | Percent of stones |
|---|---|
| Submandibular glands | 80 to 90 |
| Parotid glands | 6 to 20 |
| Sublinguals or minor salivary glands | 1 to 2 |
- Submandibular stones can be classified further as anterior or posterior in relation to the mandibular first molar teeth.
- Stones may be radiopaque, where they be visible on radiographs or radiolucent where they will not show up on radiography
- Stones may also be symptomatic or asymptomatic.
