. Early diagnosis of calcified atheromas may decrease morbidity and mortality caused by brain and cardiovascular diseases, in which atherosclerosis is the main etiological factor of these pathologies. Dental examinations with the aim of detecting this pathology have been in progress since 1981, such as panoramic radiography, considered the most widely studied method for this diagnosis. However, some limitations of this exam have been reported with reference to inability to visualize the cervical region and difficulty of establishing a precise diagnosis because of many structures and calcifications that have similar radiographic characteristics. . The present study to describe a dental radiographic technique for establishing the differential diagnosis of calcified atheromas regarding other calcifications and reporting 3 clinical cases that demonstrate its effectiveness in different clinical situations. . Manzi Projection can promote a differential diagnosis of calcified atheromas in dental practice and consequently subsidize the clinician for referring the patient to the physician.
钙化性动脉粥样硬化的早期诊断可能会降低由脑和心血管疾病引起的发病率和死亡率，其中动脉粥样硬化是这些疾病的主要病因。自1981年以来，旨在检测这种病理状况的牙科检查一直在进行，例如全景X线摄影，它被认为是针对这种诊断研究最广泛的方法。然而，关于该检查存在一些局限性的报道，包括无法可视化颈部区域，以及由于许多具有相似放射学特征的结构和钙化而难以做出精确诊断。本研究旨在描述一种牙科放射技术，用于对钙化性动脉粥样硬化与其他钙化进行鉴别诊断，并报告3例临床病例，以证明其在不同临床情况下的有效性。曼齐投照法可以在牙科实践中促进对钙化性动脉粥样硬化的鉴别诊断，从而有助于临床医生将患者转诊给医生。
