Abstract

Abstract: The submandibular gland is one of three major salivary glands in the oral and maxillofacial region. It plays an important role in digestion, chewing, caries prevention, and other physiological functions. In recent years, more and more researches on the submandibular gland have been carried out at home and abroad. Preserving the function of submandibular gland has attracted the attention of scholars. The salivary secretion function of submandibular gland was kept by preserving the gland, which significantly improved the quality of life of the patients after operation. This article briefly reviews the significance and research progress of preservation of gland function from submandibular gland.

Key words: submandibular gland, gland-preserving surgery, xerostomia
