title: Diseases of the salivary glands: a review.
abstract: The normal function of major salivary glands as well as thousands of minor ones is an important determinant of oral health. Many diseases of these glands are common, yet not often appreciated by the dentist or his staff. This paper reviews common and some less common diseases of salivary glands, including developmental, hypertrophic, reactive, autoimmune and neoplastic conditions.
