Carotid Atheroma: Detection Through Dental Panoramic Radiograph And Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Calcium salt deposition in atherosclerotic plaques induces their calcification, resulting in vascular obstruction, which can cause stroke. This pathological process can affect the carotid arteries. Here, we report the surprising finding of a carotid artery atheroma in a 60-year-old asymptomatic female. The condition was identified on a panoramic radiograph taken at the beginning of dental treatment, which showed aspects suggesting carotid artery atheroma. Cone-beam computed tomography confirmed those aspects, which are very similar to those of calcified triticeous cartilage.

The correlation of carotid artery calcification on panoramic radiograph and carotid artery atherosclerosis determined by ultrasonography
CAC on panoramic radiographs was positively associated with carotid IMT and plaque in men. Therefore, the presence of CAC on the panoramic radiographs requires further investigation of risk of stroke in men.

Detection of calcifications in panoramic radiographs in patients with carotid stenoses ≥50%
Conclusions: Carotid calcifications are seen in PRs in 84% of patients with carotid stenosis ≥50%, independent of gender. FRs do not contribute significantly to this identification.
