“…The prevalence of CAC lesions in previous cross-sectional studies ranged from 2–6%, which differed according to the study population’s age, gender, ethnicity, and lifestyle [25,26,27,28]. The reported CAC prevalence was much higher when the study population included diabetic patients (26–36%) or patients with severe carotid stenosis (84%) [4,29].…”

Background: This study sought to determine the prevalence of carotid artery calcifications (CACs) and pulp stones detected on panoramic radiographs (PRs) and ascertain their correlation. Methods: A total of 2013 digital PRs were retrospectively retrieved and thoroughly examined to determine the prevalence of CACs and pulp stones, their correlation with patient age and gender, and the relationship between the presence of pulps stones and radiographically detectable CACs. Results: The prevalence of CACs on PRs was 2.0%; the prevalence of pulp stones was 4.6%. There was no statistical relationship between pulp stones and CACs (p = 0.714). Older patients exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of CACs than younger patients (p < 0.001); pulp stones were statistically more prevalent in younger patients than older patients (p = 0.001). There were no significant differences between male and females in terms of the prevalence of either CACs or pulp stones (p = 0.087 and p = 0.278, respectively). Conclusions: Dentists should be trained to detect CACs on PRs belonging to patients older than 40 to exclude the presence of CACs. Moreover, pulp stones do not function as a diagnostic marker for CACs.

“…Regarding epidemiological data on the worldwide prevalence of CAC in panoramic radiographs, there have been reported similar results to the present study in Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Japan ( 11 - 13 ). In Brazil, the largest study that evaluated 8,338 panoramic radiographs was performed in the South region and it showed a CAC prevalence of 6.9% ( 14 ). Thus, the present study is the second one in Brazil that presented a significant sample size and it is the largest one from the Brazilian Northeast region to date.…”

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to analyze the epidemiological data of digital panoramic radiographs revealing suggestive images of carotid artery calcifications (CAC) from a Northeast Brazilian population.Material and MethodsA cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted with 2,500 digital panoramic radiographs obtained from a single imaging reference center in Northeast Brazil. Images from individuals of both sexes and older than 18 years were included and those that did not cover the region of cervical vertebrae or presented low radiographic quality were excluded. Data were analyzed regarding prevalence, location (bilateral, right or left), sex, and age using the Chi-square test at the significance level of 5%.ResultsAn amount of 96 (4%) patients presented suggestive images of CAC. The female sex (p=0.003) and individuals aged up to 70 years (p=0.002) were statically significant. 40.4% were found bilaterally, 37.6% on the right side (p<0.001) and 22% on the left side.ConclusionsIn conclusion, this study showed a low prevalence of suggestive images of CAC in digital panoramic radiographs from a Northeast Brazilian population. It was observed a higher prevalence of CAC associated with female sex, older patients, and right side location. Key words:Atherosclerosis, carotid artery, digital panoramic radiograph, prevalence.

“…Распространенность кальциноза СА, выявляемого при ОПТ, зависит от пола и возраста. У женщин распространенность кальциноза общей СА выше, чем у мужчин [26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. В постменопаузе показатель достигает 22,9% [30].…”

За последние годы в России снижена смертность от инсульта благодаря совершенствованию медицинской помощи при уже развившемся заболевании. Для дальнейшего улучшения ситуации требуется активная первичная профилактика инсульта среди лиц с бессимптомным стенозом сонных артерий (СА), обнаружение которого затруднено из-за недостаточной оснащенности оборудованием для дуплексного сканирования. Проведен анализ отечественных и зарубежных исследований по выявлению кальциноза СА с помощью флюорографии и ортопантомографии (ОПТ). Показано, что частота кальциноза СА в среднем составляет от 2 до 12%, увеличиваясь с возрастом, особенно у женщин в период менопаузы (достигает 22,9%), а также при сопутствующей патологии. Показана клиническая значимость кальцинатов, выявляемых с помощью флюорографии и ОПТ, для диагностики атеросклеротического стеноза СА. Сделан вывод, что цифровая флюорография органов грудной клетки является эффективным и доступным инструментом для оппортунистического скрининга атерокальциноза СА с целью выявления лиц, нуждающихся в первичной профилактике инсульта, что не потребует дополнительных финансовых затрат или организационных ресурсов. Необходимо создание специальных модулей программного обеспечения цифровых флюорографов для автоматического выявления кальцинатов СА. Ключевые слова: первичная профилактика инсульта, кальциноз сонных артерий, стеноз сонных артерий, цифровая флю орография органов грудной клетки, ортопантомография.
