[Salivary scintigraphy and sialography. Comparison of results in various common disorders]

We recommend the association of scintigraphy and sialography in salivary glands pathology. The obtained results of both methods are very often complementary or convergent. In case of sialadenitis or dry mouth, it happens that results diverge, but these differences can be explained if one remembers the anatomo-physiological alterations. To prevent a false positive result of atrophy. The scintigraphy must always be realized before sialography. N.B. "Scintigraphy" means isotopic sialography. "Sialography" means conventional sialography.
