“…Various studies suggest the presence of a gender and age bias in the development of calcifications [ 7 - 20 ]. In agreement with previous CBCT and PR studies [ 24 , 25 , 30 ], we found STCs to be related to both age and gender; however, our data was in contrast to the CBCT results of Misias et al [ 27 ]. Consistent with several studies [ 21 , 24 , 28 , 29 ], but unlike others [ 25 , 26 ], the current work found that calcifications were more common in female patients.…”

Background In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and radiographic features of incidental head and neck soft tissue calcifications (STCs) on panoramic imagesand assess their clinical significance. Methodology Following well-established training and calibration procedures, 9,553 digital panoramic radiographs (DPRs) taken between January 1, 2021, and January 31, 22, were retrospectively evaluated. Only obvious calcifications and clear differential diagnoses were considered. The presence, type, side (i.e., unilateral or bilateral), number (single or multiple), and the presence of different calcifications in the same individual were recorded. STCs were recorded according to age and gender. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test using SPSS version 18.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results Overall, 35.8% of the DPRs studied showed the presence of STCs, including ossified stylohyoid complex (OSHC) (10.3%), thyroid cartilage (9.8%), tonsillolith (9.2%), atherosclerotic plaques (5.8%), calcified triticeous cartilage (CTC) (5.1%), sialolith (1.9%), as well as intra-articular (1.3%) and other calcifications (0.1-0.8%), i.e., calcified lymph node, antrolith, rhinolith, phlebolith, and osteoma cutis. STCs were found to be more prevalent in middle-aged patients and in females. A significant relationship was identified between the presence of carotid artery calcification and calcified superior horn of thyroid cartilage (CSHTC), as well as between the presence of CSHTC and CTC. Calcifications were detected either bilaterally (n = 2,003) or unilaterally (n = 2,388); however, OSHC mostly showed bilateral calcifications (8.5%). Conclusions Panoramic radiographs of dental patients reveal the frequent occurrence of STCs in the head and neck region with differing radiographic features. Certain calcifications show gender and age differences. Accurate detection of STCs may guide the identification of potential underlying diseases and help initiate referral to the relevant multidisciplinary teams.

An estimated 8 to 15% of women, and 3 to 10% of men currently suffer from Temporomandibular disorders, and it has been reported that sounds are a common finding and have been observed in 28% to 50% of the adult population; sounds are almost always connected to "internal derangements" a condition in which the articular disk displaced from its position on the mandibular condyle. Due to the multifactorial etiology of temporomandibular joint dysfunction, any accurate diagnosis based on clinical examination alone often proves to be difficult, so a clinical examination should be utilized together with other imaging methods to determine the relationship between the disk and condyle before and after treatment. In general, management of temporomandibular joint-related conditions is necessary when pain or dysfunction is present, so many surgical or nonsurgical methods of treatment have been reported. The Occlusal splint is 1 of the most widespread treatment it induces a slight vertical condylar distraction and eliminates the occlusal factor, which can be responsible for Temporomandibular joint disturbances, removing the influence of the teeth on the joint position by the slight distraction of the joint which, in turn, enables damaged connective tissue to heal.

(1) Background: The stylohyoid syndrome, known as classical Eagle Syndrome (cES), is characterized by calcificatication of the stylohyoid chain with numerous nonspecific symptoms, mainly pain. This study introduces Minimally Invasive Cervical Styloidectomy (MICS). (2) Methods: MICS was performed on sixty-five patients diagnosed with classical Eagle syndrome. Patients underwent meticulous differential diagnosis. Surgical plans were established based on the findings from neck angioCT. (3) Results: The healing process was uneventful without significant complications. The overall success rate was 97.0%, with a follow-up of a minimum of six months. In one case, the surgery did not yield the desired improvement. In one case, a partial relapse of symptoms was observed. (4) Conclusions: MICS is a straightforward and efficient surgical treatment technique for stylohyoid syndrome.
