The influence of dental restorations on salivary gland scintigraphy with 99mTc-pertechnetate. 1978

H P van den Akker, and E B Sokole, and J B van der Schoot

During sequential salivary gland scintigraphy with 99mTc-pertechnetate, circumscript "cold" areas with less than background activity are sometimes seen in the region of the oral cavity. This phenomenon is due to the presence of extensive dental restorations and should not be misinterpreted in terms of deficient 99mTc-pertechnetate uptake in the minor salivary glands of the oral cavity.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D003832	Denture, Partial, Removable	A partial denture designed and constructed to be removed readily from the mouth.	Removable Partial Denture,Denture, Removable Partial,Dentures, Removable Partial,Partial Denture, Removable,Partial Dentures, Removable,Removable Partial Dentures
D003834	Denture Precision Attachment	A precision device used for attaching a fixed or removable partial denture to the crown of an abutment tooth or a restoration. One type is the intracoronal attachment and the other type is the extracoronal attachment. It consists of a female portion within the coronal portion of the crown of an abutment and a fitted male portion attached to the denture proper.

D013363	Submandibular Gland	One of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. It discharges through the submandibular duct. The secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur.
