salivary calculus
Salivary calculus, also known as sialolithiasis, refers to the formation of stones or calcified masses in the salivary glands. These stones are typically composed of mineralized salts and can cause symptoms such as pain, swelling or infection due to the blockage of salivary flow. They can occur in any of the salivary glands but are most commonly found in the submandibular glands.
