The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between calcified carotid atheromas (CCA) detected on digital panoramic radiographs and underlying systemic diseases.
Panoramic radiographs and underlying systemic diseases of retained mandibular denture implants in 265 patients (56 males, 209 females) aged over 50 years were retrospectively evaluated at the Dental Unit of Prasat Neurological Institute, Bangkok, Thailand.
The mean age of the patients was 71 ± 7.1 years. The prevalence of CCA was 38.49%. The major underlying systemic diseases were hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), respectively. No relationship was found among these four systemic diseases in detecting CCA on panoramic radiographs. Similar findings were also observed in patients with only one systemic disease versus in combination with other diseases.
The presence of CCA on dental panoramic radiographs was not found to be related to the presence of underlying systemic diseases, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and CVD.
本研究旨在评估数字化全景X线片上检测到的颈动脉粥样硬化钙化(CCA)与潜在全身疾病之间的相关性。
对泰国曼谷普拉萨特神经学研究所牙科单元中265例年龄超过50岁的保留下颌义齿种植体患者(56例男性,209例女性)的全景X线片和潜在全身疾病进行回顾性评估。
患者的平均年龄为71±7.1岁。CCA的患病率为38.49%。主要的潜在全身疾病分别为高血压、高脂血症、糖尿病和心血管疾病(CVD)。在全景X线片上检测CCA时,未发现这四种全身疾病之间存在关联。在仅患一种全身疾病的患者与合并其他疾病的患者中也观察到类似结果。
未发现牙科全景X线片上CCA的存在与包括高血压、高脂血症、糖尿病和CVD在内的潜在全身疾病的存在有关。
