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.
