Slivary Gland Diseases Flashcards
Duct of parotid gland its opening and its secretion
open in opposite to 1st & 2nd maxillary molars and its secretion is serous watery with more protein .
Duct of sub mandibular gland its opening and its secretion
open at lingual frenum its secretion is mixed .
Duct of sublingual gland its opening and its secretion
open at the floor of the mouth its secretion is more viscus & more carbs
Why calculus formation is more common in sublingual area !?
Because saliva is mucous and it is highly viscus
Minor salivary glands are distributed in all oral cavity except ?
Anterior part of hard palate & gingiva
What is the difference between exocrine & endocrine glands ?
Exocrine : secretion by duct in cavity
Endocrine : secretion in blood directly & also it is ductless
Congenital abnormalities Salivary glands
Aplasia , atresia & aberrancy
Congenital complete absence of one or more salivary glands leads to xerostomia
Aplasia
Congenital absence or occlusion of one or more ducts of the major salivary glands
Atresia
Normal secreting salivary gland tissue develop an abnormal anatomical position
Aberrancy / stafne’s bone defect
Normal salivary flow is ?
500-1500 ml/day or 0.5 - 1,5 L / day
Excessive salivation is known as ?
Sialorrhea - ptyalism
Causes of sialorrhea ?
In adequate swallowing , Teething , Large tongue , Drugs : iodides Metal toxic action leads to poisoning
Clinical manifestation of metal intoxication in sialorrhea ?
Excessive salivation
Metallic taste
Dryness of the mouth due to decrease in saliva flow
Xerostomia
Physiologic factors of xerostomia
Excessive speaking , During sleep
Senile atrophy of S.G , Excessive sweating , Fear or depression
Pathologic factors of xerostomia
Endocrina disturbance D.M , Chemotherapy , Radio therapies , Diuretic & non steroidal anti inflammatory , Beta blockers , Antihypoglacemic , Antihypertensive, Antihistamine , Antidepressants , Anticholinergics
Local factors related to S.G of xerostomia
SS or MS
Mumps
Calculi
Aplasia or atrasia
Factors related to oral cavity of xerostomia
Smocking
Mouth breathing
Types of xerostomia
Mild
Moderate
Severe
Clinical significance of xerostomia
Difficult in swallowing , eating , speaking , and denture waring
Rampant caries , Gingivitis , periodontist , glossitis and bone loss
