Abstract: (94 Views)
Introduction: Calcification, the accumulation of calcium salts in soft tissues, can also occur in dental pulp. Considering the importance of early detection of pulp calcification, this review study examines the relationship between pulp calcification and kidney stones.
Materials and Methods: This review study searched articles related to pulp calcification and its association with other calcifications from ISI, Scopus, Pubmed, ISC, Iran Medex, SID, and Google Scholar databases. A number of 211 articles were reviewed, and 66 were included based on the inclusion criteria.
Results: The results showed that individuals with kidney stones have a higher likelihood of developing pulp stones. Shared pathophysiological mechanisms leading to these two types of calcification include mineralization processes and chronic inflammation. Additionally, a relationship was observed between pulp calcification and other systemic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Conclusion: Early detection of pulp calcification can aid in identifying systemic disorders. Although further research is needed to confirm the relationship between pulp calcification and kidney stones, dentists should refer patients with pulp calcification to physicians for further evaluation.
