Abstract
Purpose: To establish the validity of Panoramic radiography as an adjunct diagnostic tool for early detection of Stroke.
Materials and Methods: The Study Subjects were subjected to Panoramic Radiography to verify prevelance of Carotid artery calcification on Panoramic Radiographs.
Results: Carotid artery calcification was seen on right side in 72.5% case groups and on the left side in 87.5% case groups. Also, unilateral carotid calcification is seen in 40% cases and bilateral carotid calcifications seen in 60% cases.
Conclusion: Dentists play a very important role in early detection of stroke by identifying the carotid artery calcification in a routine dental panoramic radiograph. This would help reduce morbidity and bring significant savings in overall health care costs associated with atherosclerosis.
Keywords: Atherosclerosis, carotid artery calcification, panoramic radiograph, stroke
