    Abstract

    Medial artery calcification (MAC) has emerged as a significant predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, particularly in populations with chronic conditions such as diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review examines the potential of dental radiographs as a non-invasive tool for the early detection of MAC, facilitating timely intervention in at-risk populations. By synthesizing current literature, we aim to elucidate the clinical implications of MAC detection in dental practice and its association with systemic cardiovascular risk factors.
