Radio-Diagnostic Dilemmas of Submandibular Calcification-An Incidental CBCT Finding
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 9
Abstract
ABSTRACT Heterotrophic Calcifications (HC’s) are often encountered as incidental findings in dental radiographic examinations. Inexperienced clinicians may misdiagnose these tame calcifications and levy unnecessary treatments to patients. Awareness and information regarding the prevalence and the nature of these calcifications are necessary to interpret any dental radiographic examination. We are reporting one such incidental finding of HC in right submandibular region of a 65-year-old patient in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and Orthopantomographic (OPG) evaluation.
