The aim of this retrospective analysis was to assess the incidence of ponticulus posticus and stylohyoid ligament calcification and to evaluate the morphological variations of the sella turcica within the Turkish demographic using CBCT scans. Involving a retrospective review of 460 CBCT scans and utilizing the NewTom 3G system, the study analyzed high-quality CBCT images to investigate ponticulus posticus, stylohyoid ligament calcifications, and sella turcica morphology. The ponticulus posticus was examined for complete or partial formations, while the stylohyoid ligament was classified according to its elongation and calcification patterns.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and severity of incidental findings in the maxillofacial complex of orthodontic patients imaged with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and assign those findings an appropriate clinical significance.
Methodology: Incidental findings (IF) were identified in 250 CBCT scans of adolescent orthodontic patients (aged 13-18 years) with a large field-of-view and categorized based on their anatomic location and placed into one of six subgroups based on anatomic region: i) sino-nasal, ii) dentoalveolar, iii) nasooropharyngeal airway, iv) temporomandibular joint, v) neck, vi) calcifications, and vi) miscellaneous findings. Additionally, findings were assigned a clinical significance score based on severity on a scale of mild, moderate and severe.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence and characteristics of incidental soft tissue calcifications (STCs) in head and neck regions using panoramic radiographs from over 9,500 patients.
- Findings reveal that 35.8% of the examined radiographs showed STCs, with common types including ossified stylohyoid complex, thyroid cartilage, and tonsilloliths, and their occurrence was more frequent in middle-aged females.
- The research highlights that certain calcifications are linked with other conditions, indicating that recognizing STCs can aid in diagnosing potential health issues.
