Age-dependent chronic and aggressive periodontitis patients need renewal of soft and hard tissue like periodontal ligament, gingiva, cementum and alveolar bone. Hence, multipotent-Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) of different dental origin like Dental Pulp (DP); Periodontal Ligament (PDL); Gingiva; Apical Papilla (AP) may play important role in regeneration of periodontal tissue. For the accomplishment of this objective, we standardized and validated the manufacturing process of dental-MSCs sources like DP, PDL, AP and gingiva from the subjects ranging from the age of 13 to 60 years. As per, International guidelines, we isolated and enumerated plastic-adherent MSCs at different time-points from different dental sources, phenotypically characterized these cells and differentiated them into osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic cells. Importantly, in subjects from 13-31 years copious DP gave an appropriate amount of MSCs. While, between the age group 50-60 years negligible amount of DP was extracted, which did not provide any MSCs. However, PDL and gingiva produced a good amount of MSCs from 13-31 years, but in 50-60 years the yield was not good. Hence, age does affect MSCs number which is the reason of delayed healing in older age group subjects compared to younger subjects.

“…During a comprehensive search, 952 studies were identified. After a sequential screening (duplicate exclusion, review of titles, abstracts and full texts), 5 case‐control studies, 1 review literature and 8 studies due to not reporting prevalence were excluded. The remaining 16 papers were quality assessed all of which had high to moderate quality scores and were considered eligible for meta‐analysis (Figure and Table ).…”

Objective: During the last years, different prevalences of dental pulps had been reported from different parts of the world. Combining these original estimates will provide useful information for policymaking in the field of health, treatment and research. This study aims to estimate the global prevalence of pulp stones.Methods: Electronic databanks such as PubMed, Scopus, Science direct, Cochrane, and also Google scholar motor engine were searched by 2 researchers using related keywords. The heterogeneity between the results was assessed using Cochrane and I 2 indices. The initial estimates were represented by forest plot and were combined according to random effects models. Factors responsible for heterogeneity were investigated using meta-regression models, and studies responsible for heterogeneity were assessed following sensitivity analysis.Results: Prevalence of pulp stones had been reported in 16 studies including 14 093 subjects.The pooled prevalence (95% confidence interval) of pulp stones among the total population, men and women were estimated as of 36. 53% (27.17-45.88), 32.58% (24-41.15), and 39.23% (28.73-49.73), respectively. In addition, of 193 687 teeth investigated during the primary studies, 9.57% (95% confidence interval: 7.05-12.08) were affected by pulp stones. Conclusion:Our meta-analysis shows a considerable prevalence of pulp stones, especially among women. K E Y W O R D Sdental, meta-analysis, prevalence, pulp stone are required for establishing appropriate treatment planning. Metaanalysis is a reasonable technique combining the results of primary studies. This study aims to estimate the total prevalence of pulp stones and its related factors in the world.

Background: Pulp stones are calcified masses formed in the primary and permanent dentitions. The ischemic cardiovascular disorders (CVD) can be the first health problem of the world. It seems that there is a relationship between pulp stones and cardiovascular diseases to determine the diagnostic value of panoramic dental radiographs as non-invasive test for the early detection of CVD. Methods and Materials: The subjects of the study came from patients presenting to Dental Radiology Department of Dental School in Yazd who aged 30-64 years, had 8 natural teeth. They were referred to the Cardiovascular Center of Afshar Hospital in Yazd for cardiovascular evaluation. To set the cutoff point, the ratio of teeth with pulp stones to the total number of teeth for each person was calculated and also ABI for diagnosing IHD via ROC curve was used. Results: Only 3.8% of patients without pulp stone were affected by ischemic heart disease (IHD). About Sixty seven percent (67.3%) of individuals had at least one tooth with pulp stone. In individuals without IHD, 5% of the teeth showed pulp stone while this rate was 45% (9 times) in CVD patients. The number of patients for whom the ratio of teeth with pulp stone to total number of teeth was 0.2 or more, was 138.7 times greater than the other. Conclusion: The dentists, who order panoramic radiographs for the treatment of patients, exactly study those teeth for the presence of pulp stones. The ratio of teeth with pulp stone to total teeth equal 0.2 or more was a good tool for early detection of CVD.
