Complications
- Discomfort
- Increased risk of salivary gland infections
- Recurrence (coming back) of stones
Prognosis
- Salivary duct stones are uncomfortable, but usually not dangerous. The stone is usually removed with only minimal discomfort. Some people may feel more pain.
- If the person has repeated stones or infections, the affected salivary gland may need to be surgically removed.

Overview
If left untreated, patients with sialolithiasis may progress to develop secondary infection and chronic sialadenitis. Common complications of sialolithiasis include infection and recurrence. Prognosis is generally good
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- If left untreated, patients with sialolithiasis may progress to develop secondary infection and chronic sialadenitis and gland atrophy.[1]
Complications
- Common complications of sialolithiasis include:[2]
- Infection
- Recurrence
- Sialadenitis ( inflammation of salivary gland)
- Abscess
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally good but very small number of patients with secondary infection may develop cellulitis, abscess and compromised airway.
