Abstract

One of the most prevalent conditions affecting the salivary glands is sialolithiasis. Seldom have large submandibular sialoliths measuring more than 3 cm been documented in the literature. We provide a unique instance of a massive submandibular calculus and how it was managed using an intraoral combination approach, preventing the need of gland excision and reducing related comorbidities.
