Abstract

ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is a pathology of great importance worldwide, because of its direct relationship with cerebrovascular events, resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates. The possibility of atheromas being identified by means of panoramic radiography is consolidated in literature; however, limitations have been reported. Thus, the aim of the present clinical case was to demonstrate the possibility of using Manzi’s Projection, which is a technique that enables visualization of the carotid artery trajectory without superimpositions of other anatomic structures, capable of promoting differential diagnosis of calcified atheromas in the carotid artery during dental exams.RESUMO A aterosclerose representa uma patologia de grande importância mundial devido à relação direta com as doenças cerebrovaculares, resultando em altos índices de morbimortalidade. A possibilidade de identificação destas placas ateromatosas através da radiografia panorâmica está consolidada na literatura, sendo também relatadas suas limitações. Com intutito de possibilitar um diagnóstico diferencial de ateromas na prática odontológica, a Projeção de Manzi consiste numa técnica ântero-posterior que possibilita uma visualização sem sobreposições do trajeto carotídeo. O presente estudo tem por objetivo relatar um caso clínico demonstrando as possibilidades diagnósticas dos exames odontológicos na detecção de ateromas calcificados na artéria carótida.
