Not all opacities observed on panoramic dental radiographs are associated with the jaws. Two thousand six hundred and twenty-eight panoramic radiographs obtained from a single dental health clinic were evaluated for the presence of opacities associated with the mandible. Opacities were observed in 4 per cent of cases. The radiographic features of these opacities are presented. The importance of including soft tissue calcifications which may be superimposed over the mandible on panoramic views in the differential diagnosis is discussed. Information on the various soft tissue calcifications which can occur in this region is presented.
并非所有全景牙科X光片中观察到的不透明影像都与颌骨有关。对从一家牙科保健诊所获取的2628张全景X光片进行了评估，以确定是否存在与下颌骨相关的不透明影像。在4%的病例中观察到了不透明影像。本文呈现了这些不透明影像的放射学特征。讨论了在鉴别诊断中纳入可能叠加在下颌骨全景视图上的软组织钙化的重要性。本文还介绍了该区域可能出现的各种软组织钙化的相关信息。
