Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Sialography is one of the oldest imaging procedures and a present day envisage which includes the injection of a radio-opaque media to demonstrate ductal tree of the major salivary glands.A broad spectrum of pathological conditions can affect our salivary glands paramounting to systemic diseases & this characterizes that salivary gland examination is an important part of oral cavity evaluation. Significance:In present scenario we have many advanced sophisticated imaging modality. But sialography remains a cost effective specialized imaging technique,if we as oral physicians become competent enough to perform this routinely,it will be an added tool for diagnosis. Materials and Method : 15 Patients with various symptoms associated with salivary gland pathologies who reported to our institution during the year 2016 ? 2017 were subjected to routine radiographic examination and sialography performed in an out-patient basis and ultrasound was done for the same. Results:Among15 patients who had symptoms associated with salivary gland pathologies,6 sialograms were normal.4 had sialolith ,2 had sialectasis,1 each had benign tumor,secondarysjogrens syndrome and stricture.All these were found in both sialography and ultrasound except for one uncalcifiedsialolith which was only detected by sialography not in ultrasonography.
