Enamel renal syndrome: A case report with calcifications in pulp, gingivae, dental follicle and kidneys

Special Care in Dentistry, 2023
AbstractBackgroundEnamel renal syndrome is a rare genetic disorder transmitted through an autosomal recessive mode. It is featured by a hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta, delayed tooth eruption, gingival fibromatosis, and nephrocalcinosis. The aim of this study was to describe clinically, radiologically, and histologically the main features of enamel

Advanced Glycation End-products Enhance Calcification in Cultured Rat Dental Pulp Cells

Journal of Endodontics, 2013
Amorphous calcification frequently appears in dental pulp tissues of diabetic patients; however, its pathologic process has not been fully elucidated. We previously found that pulp stones and thickened predentin occurred more frequently in diabetic rats.

High Glucose Levels Increase Osteopontin Production and Pathologic Calcification in Rat Dental Pulp Tissues

Journal of Endodontics, 2010
Pulp stones are frequently formed as a pathologic calcification product in dental pulp tissues, but the pathogenesis is poorly understood. We previously found that osteopontin (OPN) was produced by dental pulp cells, and its expression was associated with formation of the pulp stone matrix.

Can dental pulp calcification serve as a diagnostic marker for carotid artery calcification in patients with renal diseases?

Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 2009
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the presence of pulp calcification and carotid artery calcification on dental panoramic radiographs in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on haemodialysis and renal transplant recipients.A total of 60 nephrology patients (29 haemodialysis patients and 31 renal transplant recipients ...

Stimulatory Effects of Low-concentration Reactive Oxygen Species on Calcification Ability of Human Dental Pulp Cells

Journal of Endodontics, 2009
The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the calcification ability of human dental pulp (HDP) cells. HDP cells were treated with 100 mumol/L hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) for 5 or 10 minutes (5-min ROS group and 10-min ROS group) to investigate the mechanism of transmission to cells.

An Indispensible Parameters of Pulp Chamber Include Tooth Pulp, Types of Pulp Cavity, Pulpitis, Pulp Necrosis and Dental Pulp Calcification

Have you ever thought what’s inside your tooth? Our tooth is a complex structure along with many layers, and it isn’t solid all the way through. At the crux of your tooth, you will observe pulp cavity, which is filled with a jelly-like material known as tooth pulp.

Calcific bridging of dental pulp caused by iatrogenic hypercalcemia. Report of a case.

Oral surgery, oral medicine, and oral pathology, 1981
A case of renal osteodystrophy treated with high doses of vitamin D is presented. The treatment, carried out when the patient was between 3 1/4 and 6 years of age, induced hypercalcemia (up to 13.9 mg./dl.) which resulted in dentinal bridging corresponding chronologically to the part of the root developing at this age. Dentinal bridging associated with
