Objetivo: Identificar calcificações nos tecidos moles da região da cabeça e pescoço em radiografias panorâmicas digitais de adultos brasileiros. Materiais e métodos: Neste estudo transversal, 384 exames de indivíduos de ambos os sexos, com idades entre 18 e 80 anos, foram analisados quanto a calcificações na artéria carótida, sialólitos, flebólitos, tonsilólitos, antrolitos, calcificações da cartilagem tritícea, calcificações do ligamento estiloide e linfonodos calcificados. A associação com sexo e idade também foi investigada. Os dados foram analisados usando o SPSS® versão 23.0, com um nível de significância de 5 %. Resultados: Foram identificadas calcificações em 53 exames (13,80 %). A calcificação do ligamento estiloide foi observada em 24 casos (6,20 %), seguida por antrolitos (2,40 %). Sialólitos e tonsilólitos ocorreram em 6 casos cada (1,60 %). Não foram identificados linfonodos calcificados ou flebólitos. Apesar da falta de associação significativa com sexo e idade (p > 0,05), as mulheres, os indivíduos brancos e aqueles na quarta década de vida foram mais frequentemente afetados. Conclusões: A frequência de calcificações nessa amostra foi alta, particularmente para calcificações do ligamento estilo-hioideo e antrolitos, embora não tenham sido encontradas associações com sexo e idade.
