Which of the following refers to the condition of a stone becoming lodged in a
salivary duct?
OA. Stomatitis
OB. Sialolithiasis
C. Varix
OD. Glossitis



Answer :

The correct answer is: OB. Sialolithiasis Explanation: 1. Sialolithiasis refers to the condition of a stone becoming lodged in a salivary duct. 2. This condition can block the flow of saliva and lead to swelling, pain, and infection in the affected salivary gland. 3. Treatment for sialolithiasis may involve interventions like gland massage, warm compresses, and in some cases, surgical removal of the stone. 4. Stomatitis is inflammation of the mouth or lips, not related to salivary duct obstruction. 5. Varix refers to a dilated vein, not related to salivary duct blockage. 6. Glossitis is inflammation of the tongue, not associated with a stone lodged in a salivary duct.
