“…Although histologic evaluation is more reliable than radiographic assessment, it has the disadvantage of being an invasive method. Having the advantage of providing precise anatomical details in three dimensions, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to assess pulp stones in a few recent studies (36,37). However, it cannot be obtained as a routine record in all orthodontic patients due to increased radiation dose.…”

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effect of orthodontic treatment on pulp stone formation. Methods: The sample population comprised 504 patients (182 males, 312 females) with a mean age of 17.7 ± 2.9 years that underwent orthodontic treatment. The pre-treatment and post-treatment panoramic radiographs of the patients were evaluated to detect pulp stones before and after orthodontic treatment. The data were analyzed using Mc Nemar, Chi-square and Fisher Exact tests. Results: The statistical analysis showed that pulp stone numbers increased significantly after treatment (p<0.05) and there was no statistically significant difference between the sexes in terms of pulp stone enhancement. The increment of pulp stone numbers after treatment was found to be significantly higher in molars than other teeth (p<0.05). In canine teeth, the increase in pulp stones was statistically higher in females than in males (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that pulp stone numbers increased at different percentages after orthodontic treatment in all tooth groups. It may be concluded that orthodontic treatment can affect calcification metabolism of the pulp and orthodontic forces may increase pulp stone formation.

“…Higher numbers of pulp stones were recorded in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVS; 38.89%) than with cholelithiasis and renal lithiasis. 20 Da Silva et al 21 in a recent retrospective study on a group of Brazilians which evaluated the occurrence of pulp stones by conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) and the correlation of their prevalence with patient's gender, side of the tooth (right or left of maxillary or mandibular arch), type of teeth, and restorations found that the prevalence of pulp stones was similar between patient's genders and tooth sides. Pulp stones were detected in 31.9% of patients and 9.5% of teeth.…”

Aim: This study determined the prevalence and distribution of pulp stones in the permanent dentition of an adult population using their periapical radiographs. Materials and methods:The study followed a cross-sectional design. A total of 800 periapical radiographs collected from 412 patients attending dental clinics in Kerman, Islamic Republic of Iran, were examined using magnification. Results:Pulp stones were present in 9.6% of all permanent teeth examined, being most common in maxillary first and second molars, followed by mandibular first and second molars. They were present in 31.5% of all adult patients, with a significantly increased prevalence in females compared with males (40.5 vs 23.9%, chi-squared test p < 0.001). There was also an increased prevalence with age. Conclusion:Based on the results of this study, clinicians should expect to encounter pulp stones most commonly in the pulp chambers of maxillary first and second molars, particularly in older female patients.

“…Furthermore, digital panoramic images may be examined using an enhancing software that enhances detection. Recently, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been used to assess the prevalence of pulp stones as this technique provides accurate anatomical details in three dimensions, thereby offering the possibility to view a individual tooth in axial, sagittal and coronal views (23,24).…”

To determine the prevalence and distribution of pulp stones in the posterior teeth of a sample of adult Yemeni dental patients using digital panoramic radiographs. Methods: In total, 913 panoramic radiographs from patients attending the hospital dental clinics of at University of Sciences and Technology, Sana'a, Yemen, from January 2013 to December 2014 were examined. The occurrence of pulp stones in the posterior teeth of adult subjects was recorded. Associations between pulp stones and gender, age, arch, side and tooth type were studied. Results: The overall prevalence of pulp stones was 18.6% for individuals (170 out of 913 subjects) and 3.99% for examined teeth (351 out of 8802 teeth). The pulp stone occurrence was significantly higher in the maxilla than in the mandible for each tooth type and location (P<0.001). Pulp stones occurred more often on the right side (P<0.001). First molars represented 71% of the affected teeth with the maxillary right first molar showing the highest occurrence. Fifty-six percent of the affected subjects had pulp stones in more than one tooth. No significant difference in the occurrence of pulp stones was detected between genders or among age groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of pulp stones is different among populations. Pulp stones were found in approximately one-fifth of subjects in the Yemeni population, where up to 90% of the population have a Qat-chewing habit. This habit usually causes mechanical and chemical irritation and results in pulp calcification.
