Background:

• Sialolithiasis and obstructive salivary gland diseases require updated management strategies.
• Emerging minimally invasive techniques necessitate standardized protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

• To update clinical guidelines for diagnosing and treating obstructive salivary gland diseases.
• To define standards for sialendoscopy and other minimally invasive therapies.
• To present a practical overview focusing on conservative measures.

Main Methods:

• Guideline review and update based on current scientific evidence.
• Focus on diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm adaptation.
• Emphasis on conservative treatment modalities.

Main Results:

• Established updated standards for sialendoscopy use.
• Provided current diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms.
• Highlighted relevant conservative measures for clinical practice.

Conclusions:

• The updated guideline provides essential standards for minimally invasive salivary gland disease treatment.
• Current scientific knowledge has been integrated into diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
• The focus on conservative measures supports practical daily application.
