Mönckeberg medial arteriosclerosis is a condition characterized by the calcification of the tunica media layer of the blood vessels that are visible on plain radiography or sectional tomography. In dentistry, a properly acquired panoramic radiograph may show the condition incidentally. It is also known as medial arterial calcinosis and can be associated with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease. This condition is different from the more common atherosclerosis where the tunica intima remains unaffected, and the diameter of the vessel lumen is preserved. Dental treatment can be performed when the patient is stable with medically controlled diabetes.
