title: [Salivary calculi. Apropos of 41 cases].
abstract: This retrospective study presents a clinical analysis of 41 patients with salivary gland calculi. Epidemiological, clinical, radiological, mineralogical and therapeutical aspects are presented and discussed. Surgical treatment is the most used but new technics of lithotripsy and/or ultrafine fibroscopy, which are more comfortable and less invasive, may reduce the surgical indications.
