Patients with salivary calculi are normally managed by removal of the calculus or, if necessary, the affected gland. If it is left untreated, a stone may migrate into the adjacent tissues. We present three patients with submandibular salivary calculi, which were surgically removed under local anaesthesia. Post-operative occlusal radiographs did not show the evidence of any remnant. The patients were symptom free after a period of 1 week.
