Examination of Changes in the Remaining Submandibular Gland after Resection of the Contralateral Salivary Gland

Salivary glands are exocrine that secrete saliva, which plays an important role in the maintenance of oral health. Few reports exist on contralateral salivary gland is not directly affected when one by sialolithiasis, radiation therapy, or a tumor. In present study, we investigated changes submandibular mice following excision unilateral gland. Outcomes this study showed and sublingual resection resulted significant increase weight remaining after 21 days The appearance rate proliferating cells cell type constituting parenchyma significantly increased acinar gland, 7 glands. This suggests proliferation area acini comprising resection, suggesting proliferated as early resulting at post resection. may be attributable to owing compensate for loss function.
