Affections of the major salivary glands are relatively rare in stomatology; but according to the indications of several authors, the proportion of sialolithiasis to the total amount of affections of the salivary glands (ranging from 20.5 to 55.5%) is great. The concretions are, as a rule, located in the duct system of the submandibular gland where they may reach, circumstances permitting, considerable sizes. The author's own investigations evidence that these calculi have a partly regular, partly irregular shell-like structure around a non-calcified centre. Chemical analysis by means of X-ray diffractometry revealed hydroxyapatite varying in the degree of cristallinity as the major component. Precursors in the form of octacalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate have been disclosed. Salivary calculi must be removed (most frequently by surgical intervention) to avoid secondary diseases of the duct system of the respective gland.
在口腔医学中，大唾液腺疾病相对少见；但根据一些作者的研究结果，涎石病在唾液腺疾病总数中所占比例很大（从20.5%到55.5%不等）。通常情况下，结石位于下颌下腺的导管系统中，在条件允许时，它们可能会长到相当大的尺寸。作者自己的研究表明，这些结石在未钙化的中心周围部分呈规则、部分呈不规则的壳状结构。通过X射线衍射法进行的化学分析显示，结晶度不同的羟基磷灰石是主要成分。已发现磷酸八钙和二水磷酸二钙形式的前体。必须去除唾液结石（最常见的是通过手术干预），以避免相应腺体导管系统的继发性疾病。
