Overview

Both the major and minor salivary glands can be the site of a wide variety of diseases and functional disturbances. This monograph covers both the common lesions and conditions of the salivary glands as well as the rare ones. Much attention is given to the problematic complaint of dry mouth and the even more cumbersome diagnostic aspects of Sjögren's syndrome. Emphasis is on the clinical aspects and the management of the various disorders. The vast experience of the authors is reflected in their clear and concise style. The illustrations are well chosen and updated references are provided, where appropriate.
