Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the presence of calcium deposits (CDs) around the dens axis and patients' age, gender, and systemic diseases.

Methods: This retrospective study was carried out by examining CBCT. Basic descriptive statistical analyses and normality tests were performed on all variables. The assumption of normality was checked using the Shapiro-Wilk method. The statistical significance level was accepted as a p-value less than 0.05.

Results: CDs were observed in a total of 99 (21.9%) individuals. The incidence of CDs statistically significantly increased with age (p < .01),while it didn't statistically significantly differ between genders (p = .47). 13% were systemically healthy, while 55% had hypertension. The incidence of CDs was statistically significantly higher in individuals with hypertension.

Conclusions: In the presence of CDs, the patient should be referred to a medical doctor to confirm the diagnosis of CDS and prevent possible complications.

通过锥形束计算机断层扫描对牙床轴周围钙沉积的发生率进行回顾性研究。

研究目的本研究旨在评估牙槽骨轴周围钙沉积（CD）的存在与患者年龄、性别和全身疾病之间的关系：这项回顾性研究是通过检查 CBCT 进行的。对所有变量进行了基本的描述性统计分析和正态性检验。采用 Shapiro-Wilk 方法检验了正态性假设。统计显著性水平以 p 值小于 0.05 为准：共有 99 人（21.9%）出现 CD。从统计学角度看，CD 的发生率随年龄的增长而显著增加（p p = .47）。13%的人全身健康，55%的人患有高血压。据统计，高血压患者的 CD 发生率明显更高：出现 CDs 时，患者应转诊至医生，以确诊 CDS 并预防可能出现的并发症。

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
