Pulp stones or denticles are frequently found in the dental pulp; there is, however, scarce literature about this phenomenon. Regardless of the obvious endodontic problem of preventing access to the canals and their further treatment, other medically related significance was not studied.
Pulp stones are very frequent, manifesting in up to ninety percent of individuals between the fifty and seventy years. Their occurrence appears to raise with age. The elements associated with the progression of the pulp stones are mostly unidentified. It really is not identified exactly what leads to pulp stones, however they are not uncomfortable and usually display no signs or troubles, besides sometimes getting in the way throughout root canal treatment. The latest experiences of scientific and practical research, including examinations of dental calcifications and their association with calcifications/calculi in the organism, have not been included in the literature. Aleksova et al. 2013 investigated the possible association between dental calcifications and calculi in the kidney and/or bile. The study group included 200 patients diagnosed with pulpitis chronica. All patients underwent dental and systematic examinations. Dental examination included x-rays, which detected the presence of calcifications in the dental pulps. Histopathological analysis of extirpated pulps was also made. Clinical examination comprised ultrasound that detected calculi. The results of the histopathological analysis of the extirpated pulps from the group of patients without denticles, but with calculi in their kidneys, bile and/or other organs, showed a regular presence of "sand" in large quantities in dental pulps. The presence of "sand" was depicted as presence of dystrophic calcifications. There was a percentage difference between the two groups: calculi in the organism (kidney and bile) and denticles - 70% and calculi in the organism without denticles -30%. The Student's t-test showed a statistically significant difference for P = 0.0000. This study defined the association between the calculi in the organism and the presence of dental calcifications, as well as their possible bacterial association.
