Abstract
Objectives To compare the performance of ultrasonography with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) for detecting submandibular sialoliths. Methods Thirteen patients with suspected submandibular sialoliths who underwent ultrasonography and CT or MRI were included. Sialoliths were diagnosed using CT (11 cases) or MRI (two cases). The submandibular duct was classified into distal and proximal ducts based on the point around the mylohyoid muscle. Sialoliths located in the proximal duct were difficult to differentiate from those located within the submandibular gland (SMG). Therefore, the location of the sialoliths was classified as follows: within the SMG/proximal duct and within the distal duct. The ultrasound results were compared with CT/MRI results. Results Of the 13 patients included, two had sialoliths in both the SMG/proximal duct and the distal duct, three had sialoliths in the SMG/proximal duct, and five had sialoliths in the distal duct on CT or MRI. In this small cohort, all five sialoliths in the SMG/proximal duct were detected by ultrasoonography; however, of the seven cases with sialoliths located in the distal duct, only three could be detected by ultrasonography. Conclusions The incidence of sialoliths in the distal duct was higher than that in the SMG/proximal duct. Ultrasonography showed a good performance compared with CT/MRI in the SMG/proximal duct but not in the distal duct.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-neoplastic salivary gland diseases are rare in children. This paper aims to present the spectrum of encountered non-neoplastic salivary gland diseases at a tertiary center by describing the demographics, clinical characteristics, and outcomes in this patient population. METHODS A review of electronic medical records was performed from 2010 until 2020. Relevant data were retrieved and charted according to the type of salivary gland disease. A comparison between diseases was made for demographics, presenting symptoms, treatment, and outcomes. RESULTS Fifty patients with 11 different non-neoplastic salivary gland diseases were identified. Sialolithiasis was the most prevalent condition (12/50), with 83% localized in the submandibular gland. In contrast to gender, age, and symptoms, the location of pathology was significantly associated with the diagnosis (p < 0.001). In patients with sialolithiasis, a hybrid procedure (combined endoscopy and lithotomy) resulted in 100% resolution of symptoms. For (plunging) ranula, marsupialisation had a relative risk of recurrence of 9.6 compared to (partial) extirpation of the sublingual gland. CONCLUSIONS Children with salivary gland diseases present with overlapping symptoms, making clinical diagnosis challenging. The present study may aid physicians and specialists in diagnosing the most prevalent conditions in children. Although no gold standards exist for their treatment, hybrid procedures (sialolithiasis) and subglingual gland extirpation (ranula) showed superior results over alternatives.

Abstract
Sialolithiasis is one of the most common diseases of the salivary glands and the most common cause of chronic obstructive sialadenitis. Whereas salivary stones are responsible for most of the cases of obstructive sialadenitis in the adult population, sialolithiasis in children is considered relatively rare. We describe two cases of a 9 and a 4-year-old male respectively, with parotid sialolithiasis treated with sialendoscopy. A systematic review of the current literature was also completed in order to evaluate all described cases of parotid sialolithiasis in the pediatric population. We found 25 articles eligible for a total of 42 cases of pediatric parotid sialolithiasis. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-023-03508-8.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sialendoscopy is a new, minimally invasive method that is becoming increasingly more popular than traditional methods for the treatment of sialolithiasis. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the effectiveness and safety of this method in children with sialolithiasis are investigated. METHODS Inclusion criteria were children with sialolithiasis. The information sources were databases MEDLINE and PubMed Central (through PubMed), ScienceDirect, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), citation indexes Scopus and Google Scholar, trial registries, and "gray literature". The last search was performed on September 18, 2022. The risk of bias in included studies was assessed using ROBINS-I tool (Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions). The pooled proportion of weighted means was calculated for the quantitative synthesis of available data. RESULTS The effectiveness of the method was estimated at 95.5% (95% CI 89.8-99.3%), from 13 studies including 133 cases. The safety was estimated at 97.2% (95% CI 91.8-100%), from 10 studies including 113 cases. CONCLUSION The limitations of this study, briefly summarized, are the small number of included studies, the fact that they are mostly retrospective, the difficult application of the guidelines suggested by the PRISMA statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and Cochrane handbook due to the nature of this specific condition and intervention, and the difficulty in assessing reporting bias. The results of the current study indicate that sialendoscopy is an effective and safe method for the treatment of sialolithiasis in children and should be implemented in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Objectives The development of sialolithiasis is commonly related to local factors, such as the retrograde migration of foods, bacteria, or foreign bodies from the oral cavity. The association of sialolithiasis and saliva stasis resulting from decreased spontaneous secretion remains largely unexplored. The current study investigated the potential role of impaired spontaneous secretion in association with the formation of submandibular gland calculi. Study Design A retrospective cohort study. Methods Between September 2016 and December 2017, 11 patients with unilateral submandibular gland sialolithiasis confirmed with sialendoscopy were assigned to the experimental group. Another 35 patients clinically diagnosed with parotid obstructive sialadenitis were assigned as the control group. The slope changes of the isotope count curve of the unaffected submandibular gland in the experimental group and the bilateral submandibular glands in the control group were calculated and compared to estimate the spontaneous secretion differences. The degree of spontaneous secretion was defined as the slope changes in the steady ascending stage of the scintigraphic exam. Results The slope decline (degree of spontaneous secretion) on the unaffected side in patients with single-gland submandibular obstructive sialadenitis was significantly lower than that in the control individuals (p = .002). In contrast, the between-group comparison in the unaffected parotid glands revealed no difference in the slope decline. Conclusion The spontaneous secretion of the submandibular gland in patients with submandibular sialolithiasis was decreased compared to that in patients without submandibular sialolithiasis. This phenomenon might be associated with the development of sialolithiasis. Level of Evidence 3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the evidence for pediatric sialolithiasis, including its demographic characteristics, diagnosis, and demonstrate the shift in its treatment paradigm. DESIGN A systematic review of sources from the Medline and Embase databases was conducted from inception to Dec 4, 2020. Two researchers independently extracted data and assessed quality. PATIENTS Patients under the age of 18 with sialolithiasis were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Study design, cohort size, age, sex, symptoms, stone characteristics, diagnostic modality and intervention were collected data points. RESULTS Forty-one studies with 243 patients were included in the review, of which 40 were case reports or series. Most stones were found in the submandibular gland (n = 210, 85.4%) and were single stones (n = 101, 71.1%). Average stone size was 7.7 mm. The most common diagnostic imaging modality used was ultrasound (n = 73, 47.4%), shifting from plain radiograph which was favoured in earlier years. Similarly, open gland excision was historically preferred, but since 2000, sialoendoscopy comprised 40.5% of all treatment modalities and continues to increase in prevalence, up to 52.1% by 2020. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was associated with the highest complication rate of 54.2%. CONCLUSIONS The pediatric sialolithiasis diagnostic and therapeutic landscape has changed with ultrasound replacing plain radiographs, and sialoendoscopy replacing submandibular gland excision. Further high-level quality evidence research is required to refine the indications, effectiveness, and safety of sialoendoscopy in pediatric sialolithiasis.

Abstract
Pediatric sialolithiasis is a rare condition causing tumefaction, induration, redness, and pain of the affected gland. When the submandibular gland is involved, the lesion can be mistaken for an adenopathy. As there are few studies to elucidate this condition in children, we present a rare case of a 16-year-old female with suggestive symptoms, in which initial clinical examination and two ultrasound examinations mistook the lesion for an adenopathy. A computed tomography examination was performed and the correct diagnosis was established. The patient was sent for oro-maxilo-facial examination and sialolithotomy was performed. A 10-mm yellow calculus was extracted and postoperative case evolution was favorable under wide spectrum antibiotherapy, oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory therapy and silagog alimentation. Although submandibular adenopathies are much more frequent in the pediatric age group, when faced with a firm, immobile submandibular lesion, the pediatrician should consider the sialolithiasis diagnosis.

Abstract
Salivary sialolithiasis is a well-known cause for obstructive disease of the submandibular and parotid glands. However, the condition frequently occurs unilaterally, and it is uncommon to find a patient reporting with stones in both submandibular or parotid glands. Children below the age of 16 years rarely suffer from salivary stones. Thus, bilateral sialoliths in a child are extremely rare, with only four previous cases been reported in the literature. This is an additional case report of bilateral submandibular sialolithiasis occurring in the hilar area in a 13-year-old boy.

Abstract
Introduction
Diseases of the salivary glands are rare in children and adolescents, with the exception of viral-induced infections.
Objective
To determine the clinical course of the disease, the diagnostic procedures, the treatment and the outcome of all children and adolescents affected with salivary gland diseases at our clinic over a period of 15 years.
Methods
A retrospective chart review including a long-term follow-up was conducted among 146 children and adolescents treated for salivary gland disorders from 2002 to 2016.
Results
Diagnosing acute sialadenitis was easily managed by all doctors regardless of their specialty. The diagnosis of sialolithiasis was rapidly made only by otorhinolaryngologists, whereas diagnosing juvenile recurrent parotitis imposed difficulties to doctors of all specialties – resulting in a significant delay between the first occurrence of symptoms and the correct diagnosis. The severity-adjusted treatment yielded improvements in all cases, and a full recovery of 75% of the cases of sialolithiasis, 73% of the cases of juvenile recurrent parotitis, and 100% of the cases of acute sialadenitis.
Conclusions
Due to their low prevalence and the lack of pathognomonic symptoms, salivary gland diseases in children and adolescents are often misdiagnosed, resulting in an unnecessarily long period of suffering despite a favorable outcome following the correct treatment.

Abstract
There are many reports on the complications associated with antibiotics abuse during the treatment of paediatric patients, particularly those related to antimicrobial resistance. The dental profession is no exception; there is growing evidence that dental practitioners are misusing antibiotics in the treatment of their paediatric patients. This review is directed to dental practitioners who provide oral healthcare to children. It is also directed to medical practitioners, particularly those working in emergency departments and encountering children with acute orofacial infections. A systematic search of literature was conducted to explore the clinical indications and recommended antibiotic regimens for orofacial infections in paediatric outpatients. The main indications included cellulitis, aggressive periodontitis, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, and pericoronitis. Amoxicillin was found to be the most commonly recommended antibiotic for short durations of 3–5 days, with metronidazole or azithromycin being the alternative antibiotics in penicillin-sensitive patients.

Sialolithiasis is rare in children, there are no guidelines for its treatment, and there are few, if any, long term follow-up studies. We report a retrospective review of medical records of children who were treated for sialolithiasis by sialendoscopy between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2011, and who have been followed up for 4-8 years. Personal and clinical details, including age, sex, symptoms, whether the lithiasis was parotid or submandibular, the technique of sialendoscopy and complications, were recorded. Twenty-six children (30 sides) were successfully treated by sialendoscopy between 2007 and 2011 (mean (range) age 12 (3-17) years). Stones were removed from the parotid gland in four patients and the submandibular gland in 22. The main indication for sialendoscopy was swelling of the salivary gland during meals. Twenty-six procedures were done endoscopically. Twelve were treated with a wire basket alone, 10 by the combined approach, and laser was used in eight. Four patients developed complications, but without long-term effects. During follow-up of 4-8 years there were no recurrent swellings. We conclude that endoscopic treatment of stones in childhood is an efficient and conservative option for salivary glands, has few complications and no clinical recurrence at medium to long-term follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Poor oral hygiene is one of the risk factors for sialolithiasis particularly in adults; however the etiology of sialolithiasis in pediatric patients remains largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to identify the association between sialolithiasis and the oral/oropharyngeal infections in the pediatric population, as surrogate indicators for oral hygiene and retrograde infections to the affected salivary gland. METHODS This was a population based case-control study using the Korean National Health Insurance Database. We identified 10,095 pediatric patients, diagnosed with sialolithiasis, as cases (study period 2011-2015) and 50,475 age/gender/residence matched subjects without sialolithiasis, but with unrelated diseases (e.g., simple trauma in extremities) were set as controls. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association of sialolithiasis with oral or oropharyngeal infections. RESULTS The morbidity rate of sialadenitis was much higher in the cases than the controls (32.92% vs 0.72%, p < 0.0001). By contrast, the prevalence of oral or oropharyngeal infections (stomatitis, gingivitis, periodontitis, and pharyngo-tonsillitis) was significantly lower in pediatric sialolithiasis patients in all age (0-18) groups. The adjusted odds ratios of the multivariate analyses also confirmed significantly less prevalence of the oral and oropharyngeal infections in pediatric sialolithiasis patients. CONCLUSION Oral or oropharyngeal infections were inversely associated with pediatric sialolithiasis, suggesting that pediatric sialolithiasis may result from the intrinsic factors of the salivary gland itself, not from oral or oropharyngeal infections.

Abstract
Objectives We performed a retrospective analysis to contribute to the increasing number of reports on sialendoscopy in the literature and give basic concepts for beginners at the same time. Methods Between 2004 and 2009, 83 patients with symptoms of ductal obstruction of the major salivary glands were admitted to our clinic. Diagnostic and/or interventional sialendoscopy was applied to 60 glands (33 submandibular and 27 parotid) of 54 patients. A holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser or a pneumatic lithotripter was used for intraductal stone fragmentation. Results Sialendoscopy revealed no disorder in 2 cases, and in 38 glands (28 submandibular and 10 parotid) sialolithiasis was the underlying disease. Fifteen glands (5 submandibular and 10 parotid) were found to have other main disorders such as stenosis, synechia, or kink formation. Other findings included sialodochitis in 6 glands (2 submandibular and 4 parotid), a polyp in 1 parotid gland, mucus plugs in 21 glands (6 submandibular and 15 parotid), ductal ectasia in 4 glands (2 submandibular and 2 parotid), and ductal collapse in 1 parotid gland. The overall interventional success rate was 83% of all cases, and no complications occurred. Conclusions The success rate of the interventional sialendoscopy performed in the current study shows consistency with the results given in the related medical literature. In the age of sialendoscopy, the adjunctive intraoral surgeries can be argued to be safer, easier, and more successful than before. Sialendoscopy may be considered to be the best practice not only in sialolithiasis, but also in other treatments of obstructive ductal disorders.

Abstract
Salivary gland lesions are rare in pediatric patients. In addition, the types of salivary gland tumors are different in their distribution in specific sites in the major and minor salivary glands in children compared with adults. This article reviews benign neoplastic and nonneoplastic salivary gland disorders in pediatric patients to help clinicians to develop an orderly differential diagnosis that will lead to expedient treatment of pediatric patients with salivary gland lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The sialendoscopic approach in treating pediatric salivary gland disorders has been reported with great success through the years. Whereas this success has been widely reported in Caucasian populations, relatively little has been reported regarding the use of this procedure in pediatric patients in Asian countries. The purpose of this study is to report our preliminary experience in pediatric sialendoscopy. METHODS The data from 20 patients (<18years old), who underwent sialendoscopy for obstructive sialoadenitis in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Mackay Memorial Hospital between October 2013 and November 2015, were reviewed. RESULTS Twelve of our 20 patients (60%) were diagnosed with sialolithiasis and 8 of our 20 patients (40%) presented with non-lithiasis obstructive sialoadenitis. Ductal stenosis was found in 13 patients, and 18 patients had debris/mucous plug formation. The overall success rate was 95% (19/20) in our series, and 85% (17/20) of the patients had achieved a complete remission after a single sialendoscopy procedure. CONCLUSIONS Sialendoscopy is an ideal treatment in the management of obstructive sialoadenitis in Asian pediatric patients. If necessary, Holmium:YAG laser lithotripsy and sialostent placement could be applied, and both procedures are well tolerated in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Sialolithiasis is caused by the obstruction of a salivary gland or its excretory duct by the formation of calcareous concretions or sialoliths; this results in salivary ectasia and provokes subsequent dilation of the salivary gland. Sialolithiasis is relatively common, accounting for 30% of salivary diseases; however, it is rarely observed in childhood. This case report describes a 2-year-old male patient who complained of a painful swelling over the right cheek, and presented with palpable stones and pus discharge from the orifice of the right Stensen's duct. Computerized tomography of the neck confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient received intravenous empiric antibiotics combined with intraoral sialolithotomy. We also provide a review of the spectrum of concepts regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of sialolithiasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sialendoscopy in children is a recently described procedure. The small amount of existed literature presents the procedure under general anesthesia. We report our experience on pediatric sialendoscopy under local anesthesia at an outpatient setting. METHODS In a period of 1.5 years 9 children with age >8 years suffering from recurrent parotid swellings were assessed with sialendoscopy. In 8 out of 9 cases the parents accepted a procedure under local anesthesia. In 7 cases the procedure was completed uneventfully however in one case was discontinued and repeated under general anesthesia. The endoscope used was a 1.1mm Marchal type. Prior to endoscopy xylocaine solution 4% was applied on the papilla area for 15min. Intraductal injection of xylocaine 2% (5ml) was performed prior the insertion of the endoscope. During the procedure parents evaluated pain by means of a 6-point smiley scale. Social life and school activity were also evaluated by means of an 11-point scale pre- and 1 year post-sialendoscopy. RESULTS Seven out of eight children (8 sialendoscopies) tolerated and completed the sialendoscopy assessment. The mean duration of the procedure was 39.2min. No major complications were reported at the early post-endoscopy period. Four children presented no further swellings, two experienced one recurrence and one needed a repeat sialendoscopy (3 recurrent episodes). Sialendoscopy findings showed fibrinous debris in 4 children, mucous plugs in 2, evidence of sialodochitis with purulent debris in one child and stenosis in 3 children. The diagnosis in our cases was Juvenile Recurrent Parotitis in 6 children and chronic microbial parotitis in one case. Social life and school activity were improved in 6 children 1-year post-sialendoscopy according to parent's ratings. CONCLUSIONS Sialendoscopy under local anesthesia can be an alternative option in children of age >8 years and satisfactory cooperative skills, avoiding unnecessary general anesthesias and hospital stay.
