A thirty-year old female presented with a painful swelling of the left sub- mandibular region. Clinical examination revealed that the cause of the symptoms was a blockage of the submandibular salivary gland duct with a gutta percha point and a small stone. The gulta percha point and stone were removed under local anesthesia. The post-operative phase was uneventful and the patient has recovered completely.
