Abstract: Males with atherosclerosis of their carotid arteries as evidenced by PIs displaying calcified atheromas are significantly more likely to evidence a DELC+ than those without an imaged atheroma.

“…In similar studies, Couto-Souza et al(17) analyzed a group of South Brazilian population, reported a prevalence of 8.6%, and Agacayak et al(18) detected 8,8% of atheroma in group of Turkish population. However, other studies showed a lower prevalence, such as Sisman et al(19), that found the prevalence of 5.06% in the population of Cappadocia, Turkey; Ohba et al(16) andTamura et al (20) evaluating groups of the Japanese population detected 5% and 4.13%, respectively.…”

Background: In recent years, the use of panoramic radiography (PR) has been proposed as a reliable method for early diagnosis of calcified carotid artery atheroma (CCAA). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of images suggestive of CCAA, observed in digital PRs from users of a Brazilian military organization, and investigate the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. Material and methods: The study analyzed a total of 2.015 digital PRs, taken for dental diagnostic purposes between January and September 2019 from patients of both genders and older than 18 years. Data were analyzed regarding prevalence of CCAA and cardiovascular risk factors using the Chi-square test at the significance level of 5%. Patients with a suggestive diagnosis of CCAA were contacted by telephone and invited to further evaluation. Results: Of 2.015 patients, 105 (6.06%; 46 women, 25 men) had CCAA detected on digital images. Of the 71 patients who agreed to further evaluation, 64.8% were women, 54.9% were 60 years or older, 38% military service, 45.1% overweight, 64.3% blood pressure alterations, 23.9% diabetics, 11.3% cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, 5.6% history of COVID-19, 12% cholesterol ≥ 240mg/dL, 26.5 % triglycerides ≥ 200mg/dL and 51% glycaemia ≥ 100mg/dL. For all variables analyzed there was statistically significant differences (p0.05), except for glycaemia (p=889). Conclusion: The presence of risk factors for stroke was meaningful in the population with CCAA, indicating the relevant role of the dentist in the early diagnosis.

Aim: To assess the prevalence of acute periapical abscesses (PAs) in patients with a history of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAA). Materials and methods: History of acute PAs and ECAA diagnosis was retrieved by searching the appropriate query in the database. All cases were diagnosed for acute PAs by calibrated dentists for patients admitted to urgent care. The odds ratio (OR) for the prevalence of acute PAs and its association with history of ECAA were then calculated. Results: The prevalence of acute PAs in patients with a history ECAA was significantly higher as compared to the general hospital patient population (p < 0.0001). The OR was 5.5. Females were more affected than males by 1.7 folds (p < 0.001). Whites were more affected than African Americans by 1.6 folds (p < 0.00001). Conclusions: The high prevalence of acute PAs in patients with a history of ECAA may suggest an association between these two conditions warranting a thorough medical examination.
