Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) can detect calcifications in soft tissue structures. While many calcifications are asymptomatic, some require intervention or monitoring due to their clinical implications. Dental professionals should understand the significance of different types of calcifications and their anatomical locations. CBCT enables precise 3-dimensional assessment of mineralized structures, making it valuable for identifying soft tissue calcifications. Thorough examination of CBCT images is essential as calcifications are often found incidentally. Dental practitioners are responsible for identifying, diagnosing, treating, or referring for the management of detected pathologies. This paper aims to enhance practitioners' understanding of the differential diagnosis of soft tissue radiopacities observed on dental radiographs using anatomical knowledge of the head and neck region.
