“…However, Thanakun et al reported that ABL was not associated with CAC [ 40 ]. In this study, we diagnosed CAC using CT because CT could be used to diagnose CAC with higher probability than panoramic radiography [ 41 ]. Moreover, we noted a significant association between the number of present teeth and CAC.…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between alveolar bone loss (ABL) detected on panoramic radiographs and carotid artery calcification (CAC) detected on computed tomography (CT). Methods: The study subjects included 295 patients (mean age ± SD: 64.6 ± 11.8 years) who visited the Matsumoto Dental University Hospital. The rate of ABL and the number of present teeth were measured on panoramic radiographs. Univariate analyses with t-tests and chi-squared tests were performed to evaluate the differences in age, gender, history of diseases, number of present teeth, and the ABL between subjects, with and without CAC. Moreover, multivariate logistic regression analysis, with forward selection and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, was performed. Results: The number of subjects without and with CAC was 174 and 121, respectively. Univariate analyses revealed that CAC was significantly associated with age, hypertension, osteoporosis, number of present teeth, and ABL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for covariates revealed that the presence of CAC was significantly associated with ABL (OR = 1.233, 95% CI = 1.167–1.303). In the ROC analysis for predicting the presence of CAC, the the area under the ROC curve was the highest at 0.932 (95% CI = 0.904–0.960) for ABL, which was significant. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the measurement of ABL on panoramic radiographs may be an effective approach to identifying patients with an increased risk of CAC.

“…The area formed carotid artery calcification is almost at the carotid artery bifurcation between the third and fourth cervical vertebrae. That is likely to occur 4) , but the carotid artery calcification is found by chance in many cases because there is hardly any subjective symptom 5) . The panoramic radiographs taken for dental treatment can observe and diagnose the carotid artery calcification without subjective symptom.…”
