Dry, leathery tongue and
diffuse enamel erosion in a
child with aplasia of the
major salivary gland.

mass at the orifice of
Wharton duct.

mass located at the left angle of
the mandible.

Fig. 4- Sialolithiasis. A, Minor

salivary gland sialolith
presenting as a hard nodule
in the upper lip. B, A soft
tissue radiograph of the
same lesion revealed a
laminated calcified mass.

Fig.5- Intraoral radiographic

projections. A, Underexposed
mandibular occlusal radiograph
demonstrates a radiopaque
sialolith in Wharton’s duct. Note
the classic laminated
appearance. B, Periapical
radiographs of the same case.
The radiopaque calculus can be
localized lingual to the teeth by
applying appropriate object
localization rules.
