salivary gland involvement is one of the radioiodine therapy complications. salivary gland scintigraphy in quantitative mode can accurately evaluate salivary gland function. methods: salivary gland scintigraphy was performed with tc-99m pertechnetate, at the time of iodine therapy as a basic study and then 3 weeks and 3 months afterwards. ejection fraction (ef) of parotid and submandibular glan...

Objective(s): To review the findings of the patients with Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) having technetium-99m-pertechnetate (99mTc-pertechnetate) and gallium-67 citrate (Ga-67) salivary gland scintigraphy in the past eight years.Methods: The patients with SS, who were referred to our department for salivary gland scintigraphy during January 2008-December 2015 were studied using both 99mTc-pertechneta...

Sialoliths are common in submandibular salivary gland duct and rarely do they occur in the submandibular gland proper. Very rarely the stones within the gland achieve a gigantiform size, imposing difficulty for the oral physician to differentiate it from a calcified submandibular lymphnode.

Isoproterenol is a potent B-adrenergic agonist which its effect on rabbit salivary Glands has been studied in this research.two groups of male albino rabbits(five in each group with the mean weight of 1000+_300 gr) were injected with 20 mg/kg of  isoproterenol intrapritoneally each day for fifteen days and one similar group(n=5) was chosen as control group.in one of the test groups in addition ...

Hemangiomas are defined as soft tissue lesions in the maxillofacial or oral region. Hemangiomas of salivary glands constitute 30% of the non-epithelial tumors in major salivary glands.  Benign tumors in salivary glands are located 85% in parotid gland and 13% in submandibular gland. We present a case of submandibular hemangioma in an infant patient that had some complications and a challenging ...

Purpose Sialolithiasis is one of the most prevalent large obstructive disorders of the submandibular glands. The aim of this study was to investigate submandibular sialolithiasis with computed tomography (CT) and scintigraphy, with a particular focus on the relationship between CT values of the submandibular glands and their excretion rate. Materials and Methods Fifteen patients with submandi...

Submandibular gland ptosis is a common impediment to obtaining superior surgical aesthetic results in neck lift surgery. Techniques for suspending the submandibular gland have been proposed, but these procedures have the drawbacks of disturbing the floor of the mouth mucosa and periosteum. We present an approach of submandibular gland suspension for the treatment of gland ptosis by employing a ...
