Which of the following are salivary gland disorders mentioned in the material?

• A. Sialadentitis, Sialolithosis or Sjogren's Syndrome
• B. Herpes simplex lesions
• C. Gingivitis
• D. Caries

Answer: (A)

Salivary gland disorders are conditions that affect the glands responsible for making saliva. The combination that includes inflammation of a salivary gland (sialadenitis), the formation of stones in the salivary ducts (sialolithiasis), or an autoimmune condition that reduces saliva production (Sjögren’s syndrome) fits this category. These are all directly related to salivary gland function, which is why they are described as salivary gland disorders.

In contrast, herpes simplex lesions are viral infections affecting mucosal surfaces, gingivitis is inflammation of the gums, and caries is tooth decay. None of those involve the salivary glands themselves, which is why they aren’t the correct group.
