Salivary Stone Disease

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify existing gaps and outline future directions in research focused on predicting the development, progression, and outcomes of salivary stone disease (SSD). The analysis revealed that, to date, there is no well-founded experimental model of SSD, nor a scientifically validated system of prognostic tests suitable for hospital and outpatient use to assess the likelihood, course, and potential outcomes of the disease.
