Abstract
A non-invasive method for salivary gland stone disintegration by shock waves is proposed. An in vitro experiment, in which a large sialolith was subjected to shock waves produced by a Dornier lithotriptor, demonstrated the complete destruction of the stone. The advantages of the method and the need for modification of the existing equipment is discussed.Entities:
