Abstract

In this article, we compare X-ray radiographs of calcification of the carotid artery and similar findings found on panoramic radiographs. Our findings show calcification of the carotid artery, tonsillolith of the palatine tonsils, sialolith of submandibular gland, and calcification of the thyroid cartilage. Understanding carotid calcification and cases with similar findings may help to identify atherosclerosis from panoramic radiographic images.
