title: Sialolithiasis in children: report of four cases.
abstract: Sialolithiasis in children is rare. Four cases of sialolithiasis in the submandibular gland occurring in children < or = 10 years old are reported. True and distal oblique occlusal radiographs were found to be useful for detection of the sialolith. A review of the literature on sialolithiasis in children is presented.
