What is Association of Calcified Carotid Artery Plaque in Panoramic about?

This study investigates the association between calcified carotid artery plaque (CCAP) visible in panoramic images and the presence of diagonal earlobe crease (DELC) in Brazilian patients over 55 years old. Results show that 88% of patients with CCAP also exhibited DELC, with a statistically significant correlation, particularly among males. The findings suggest that males with atherosclerosis are more likely to display DELC, indicating a potential risk for future myocardial infarctions.
