Abstract: (610 Views)
Background: Pulp stones and pulp sclerosis is the kind of calcification in the dental pulp for which the etiological factors influencing its formation have not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of pulpal stones and pulpal sclerosis in Alborz Dental School.
Methods: This retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on panoramic radiographic stereotypes of 700 patients referred to the dental school of Alborz University of Medical Sciences in 2020. For this purpose, patient file information was collected and analyzed with SPSS-24 statistical software.
Results: The prevalence of pulp stones in patients was 1.93 and in the studied teeth was 15.4%. The prevalence of pulpal sclerosis in patients was 3.3% and in teeth was 20.3%. The highest prevalence of pulpal stones is in maxillary molars and the highest prevalence of pulpal sclerosis is in mandibular molars. The prevalence of pulp in women was significantly higher than men and in the age groups of 40 to 50 years. There was no significant relationship between gender and the prevalence of pulpal sclerosis, but it was more common in the age group of 30 to 40 years than other ages.
Conclusion: Pulp stones and pulp sclerosis are relatively common and increase with gender and age. The high prevalence of stones and the possible common mechanisms between pulp calcification and other diseases could be the basis for designing other studies.
