Understanding the pathogenesis and being familiar with diagnostic and management methods is critical in order to provide effective oral health care for patients. The current knowledge of the pathogenesis of each cancer subtype has made it possible to classify and define salivary gland tumors better. Specific treatment regimens for salivary gland tumors can be developed by studying molecular biology. Using immunohistochemistry in conjunction with gene analysis using PCR, specific defects can be identified, which provides insight into the most promising therapies. Hypofunctional salivary glands may benefit from organ replacement regenerative therapy using human adult stem cells.
