Popis: The quantity of cadmium, lead and zinc in human salivary calculi was analyzed by solid sample Zeeman-GFAAS. Fluor was detected by pyrohydrolysis. Investigations of 19 cases of Sialolithiasis (disease of salivary gland) feature characteristic differences in the uptake of toxic heavy metals in salivary calculi depending on different sex of the patients. Salivary calculi from different salivary glands (Glandula submandibularis, Glandula sublingualis and Glandula parotis) and from unknown origin were analyzed. The contents of fluor and lead are positively correlated. This can be due to the fact that lead is a substitute for calcium in the apatite structure of the inorganic matrix.
