Abstract

A 71-year-old white male had a routine panoramic radiograph taken for oral health reasons. Positive carotid calcifications findings on the radiograph were in agreement with significant carotid stenosis as determined by duplex ultrasonic examination. If the occasion arises, the authors advocate that a routine panoramic radiograph examination include an assessment of the region of the carotid system for presence of carotid calcifications in all adult patients.
