Prevalence and Characteristics of Soft Tissue Calcifications in Cbct Images of Mandibular Region

Öz:
Objectives: The goal of the study is to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of soft tissue calcifications (STCs) detected in the mandibularregion in CBCT images.Methods: 242 (150 female, 92 male) mandibula CBCT images were evaluated in this study. Prevalence, anatomical location, pattern (bilateralor unilateral), size (mm), number (single or multiple), age (<35, 35-50, >50) and gender tendency were recorded. Images were evaluated in theaxial, coronal and 3D reformated images. The Chi-square test was used to test for differences of the STC groups and the percentage values.Results: 88 patients (36.4%) had at least one STC in the mandibular region. The mean age of the patients with STC was 58.3±11.06 years. Nogender predilection was stated in terms of the presence of STC. STC was higher in patients over 50 years than the other age groups (p=0.00).Most of the STCs were unilateral, above 3mm in size, single and located in the lingual aspect of the mandible.Conclusion: It is of vital importance for clinicians to know characteristics of STCs and to detect STCs in early stages especially those concerningsystemic conditions and to prevent life-threatening consequences.
