“…10,16,17,20,24 These studies have shown a range for CAC of 2 -5% in the dental outpatient population. There have also been many studies evaluating prevalence of CAC in patients with occult metabolic syndrome, 25 12 There has also been a published case report by Suarez-Cunqueiro et al 30 in which a 49-year-old male patient presented with several systemic disorders, including ESRD, and whose PR taken as part of a dental examination showed calcification in the branches of the external carotid artery.…”

This study investigated the presence of carotid artery calcifications (CACs) on panoramic radiographs (PRs) in endstage renal disease (ESRD) patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), and analysed the relationship between CAC prevalence and PD duration. A random sample of 110 PRs were collected from ESRD patients (15 with questionable CACs were subsequently excluded). CACs were found in 26 (27.4%) patients; 10 males (23.3% of all males) and 16 females (30.8% of all females). The overall mean PD period was 4.0 ± 3.2 years. There was a significant difference in PD period between patients with and without CACs (5.3 ± 3.1 years versus 3.5 ± 3.1 years, respectively). To our knowledge, this study has the highest CAC prevalence, is the first to be carried out in ESRD patients being treated with PD and has the largest sample of ESRD patients (n = 95). We believe dentists should carefully evaluate patients' PRs for evidence of CACs, enabling these incidental findings to provide life-saving information.

“…If a longer area of artery is involved, the serpentine, calcified image is usually diagnostic. 17 A calcification in the common carotid usually lies next to the C3-C4 and more laterally on a panoramic view than a sialolith. 18 A rare differential diagnosis may include myositis ossificans.…”

El propósito del presente estudio fue determinar la frecuencia de ateromas en radiografíaspanorámicas de pacientes mayores de 40 años con enfermedad periodontal atendidos en laClínica Dental de la Facultad de Estomatología Roberto Beltrán Neira de la Universidad PeruanaCayetano Heredia durante el período 2000 al 2004. La muestra consistió en 217 radiografíaspanorámicas elegidas por muestreo no probabilistico. El análisis de las variables se hizo usandotablas de frecuencia y se usó la prueba de Chi cuadrado para la evaluación de la significancia. Losresultados mostraron que la frecuencia de ateromas observados en las radiografías panorámicasde pacientes con enfermedad periodontal fue de 17,1%. La frecuencia de ateromas fue mayor enel rango de edad de 40 a 59 años y mayor en el sexo femenino.
