Case Resolution
Pain in the Temporomandibular Region
Abstract
Idiopathic calcified nodules that originate from the accumulation of mineralized material inside a thrombus due to vascular stagnation. They are rare in the maxilofacial región. These calcificactions can go unnoticed for a long time unless their growth alters the facial image; they are evident in radiographic findings that translate as rounded radiopaque bodies. The course of action to follow in most cases is monitoring for the absence of symptoms.Downloads
