title: [Fragmentation of sialoliths].
abstract: An in vitro experiment proved that a sialolith can be disintegrated, but that also serious damage is caused to the teeth and dental restorations. Therefore, no experiment was carried out on a patient, although it proved to be possible to position a patient on a lithothriptor in a way that the shock wave of the apparatus would hit the sialolith without passing the brain, eyeballs and laryngeal skeleton.
