Types of Sialadenitis
- A disease that is Endemic is found in a certain geographic region or in a specific race of people. Malaria is endemic to parts of Africa.
- Epidemic describes a disease that is widespread, affecting a large number of individuals within a population, community, or region at the same time.
..
Predisposing factors of Acute Suppurative Sialadenitis
- Bad oral hygiene.
- Salivary duct obstruction by food particles, F.B. or stone.
- Dehydration (postoperatively).
- Debility.
Organism Causing Acute Suppurative Sialadenitis
- Staph. aureus (commonest),
- Streptococci and Pneumococci.
Roue of entry of Acute Suppurative Sialadenitis
- Direct → along duct from mouth (commonest), or from a nearby focus.
- Blood borne.
what is the most commonly affected gland by Acute Suppurative Sialadenitis?
Parotid Gland
Pathology of Acute Suppurative Sialadenitis
- The parotid is the commonest gland involved.
- The gland and duct are congested edematous and may suppurate.

TTT of Acute Suppurative Sialadenitis
- Conservative
- Surgical
Conservative TTT of Acute Suppurative Sialadenitis
After 3 days of conservative treatment, patient either:
Indications of Surgical TTT of Acute Suppurative Sialadenitis
1) Failure of conservative treatment.
2) If there are signs of suppuration (abscess formation).
Procedure for Removal of Parotid abcess
Procedure for Removal of Submandibular abcess
Etiology of Chronic Sialadenitis
Pathology of Chronic non-Calcular Sialadenitis
what is the most commonly affected gland by Chronic Sialadenitis?
Submandibular
Pathology of Chronic calcular Sialadenitis
why is Chronic Sialadenitis more common in submandibular Gland?
- Secretions of submandibular are more viscid.
- Its duct opens in floor of mouth → obstruction by food.
- Drainage of submandibular gland is independent.
