“…In contrast, the prevalence in healthy teeth was 63.5% in the 10-20 year age group, thereby confirming the controversy about the origin of these stones. This is in agreement with findings by Hamasha and Darwazeh, 4 Edds et al, 6 and Nayak et al, 7 who assigned the presence of stones to other factors and systemic disorders.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] The causes and process of stone formation have not been fully clarified, but stones seem to be associated with several factors: patient's age, lowintensity stimuli, caries, occlusal trauma, orthodontic movement, periodontal problems, epithelial rests, dental abnormalities and systemic disorders. 4,6,7 Pulp stones, detected during routine radiographic examinations, are seen as single or multiple circular or ovoid radiopaque images. The prevalence of pulp stones ranges from 8% to 90%, and only lesions greater than 200 µm are detectable.…”

“…In the study by Nayak et al, [7], frequency of pulp stone on the right side was higher than left side, which is in contrast to findings by Ranjitkar [8]. Higher frequency of pulp stones were reported in maxillary arch compared to mandibular arch by Nayak et al, [7], but similar frequency in both arches [9] or higher occurrence in mandibular arch have also been reported [10].…”

Pulp calcifications stones are discrete calcifications within the pulps of teeth. They are a frequent finding on bitewing and periapical radiographs. Johnson and Bevelander stated that a single tooth may have stones ranging from 1 to 12 or even more, with sizes varying from minute particle to large masses that occlude the pulp space. They often develop in teeth that appear quite normal in other respects. They have been seen in both functional as well as embedded teeth. Inspite of this frequent occurrence, they have received relatively little attention in textbooks. The purpose of this review was to examine these pulp stones from all the aspects including their pathogenesis, clinical aspects, histopathology, current perspectives and contemporary research on the same.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of pulp stones in a group of Turkish dental patients using panoramic radiographs and dental records, and to report any associations between the presence of pulp stones and age, sex, tooth type, dental status, dental anomalies or systemic diseases.Materials and Methods: Data were collected through radiographic examination of panoramic radiographs and dental records of 4798 dental patients. The presence of pulp stones was recorded. Chi-square analyses were used to compare the frequency of occurrence o75f pulp stones between the parameters.Results: Pulp stones were identified in 168 (3.5%) patients examined. Six hundred twenty (0.5%) of 122405 teeth had pulp stones. Gender, tooth type and dental status were correlated with the presence of pulp stones (p<0.05). No significant association existed between pulp stones and age, dental anomalies or systemic diseases (p>0.05).Conclusion: Under the limitations of the present study, pulp stones were detected in 3.5% of 4798 patients and 0.5% of 122405 teeth examined using panoramic radiographs. Molars contained significantly more pulp stones than other tooth types. Carious and/or restored first and second molars exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of pulp stones than intact molars. Further studies are needed to clarify the higher pulp stone prevalence in molars and the possible association between the occurrence of pulp stones and pulpal irritations.Keywords: Dental pulp stone, dental panoramic radiography, oral radiology, prevalence, Turkish population ÖZ Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amaçları; bir grup Türk dental hastada panoramik radyografiler ve dental kayıtlar kullanarak pulpa taşı sıklığının belirlenmesi ve pulpa taşı varlığı ile yaş, cinsiyet, diş tipi, dental durum, dental anomaliler ve sistemik hastalıklar arasında olabilecek ilişkileri bildirmekti.Gereç ve Yöntem: 4798 hastanın panoramic radyografileri ve dental kayıtları incelenerek veriler toplandı. Pulpa taşı varlığı kaydedildi. Pulpa taşı oluşma sıklığı, ki-kare analizi kullanılarak parametrelerle karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: Pulpa taşı, incelenen hastaların 168'inde (%3.5) tespit edildi. 122405 dişin 620'sinde (%0.5) pulpa taşı vardı. Cinsiyet, diş tipi ve dental durum pulpa taşı varlığıyla ilişkiliydi (p<0.05). Pulpa taşları ile yaş, dental anomaliler ve sistemik hastalıklar arasında önemli bir ilişki bulunmuyordu (p>0.05).Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sınırları dahilinde, panoramic radyografiler kullanılarak incelenen 4798 hastanın %3.5'inde ve 122405 dişin %0.5'inde pulpa taşı belirlendi. Büyük azılar diğer diş tiplerine göre önemli derecede daha fazla diş taşı içeriyordu. Çürüklü ve/veya restore edilmiş birinci ve ikinci büyük azılar zarar görmemiş büyük azılara göre önemli derece daha yüksek sıklıkta pulpa taşı sergiliyordu. İlerde yapılacak çalışmalarda büyük azılardaki yüksek pulpa taşı sıklığının ve pulpa taşı oluşumu ile pulpal irritasyonlar arasındaki olası ilişkinin açıklanması gerekmektedir.

A radiographic correlation between systemic disorders and pulp stones

Abstract: Positive correlation was found between systemic disorder and pulp stones. Cardiovascular patients had maximum number of pulp stones followed by dental-wear defects and least number of pulp stones were evident in control group.
