The investigation of WNT6 and WNT10A single nucleotide polymorphisms as potential biomarkers for dental pulp calcification in orthodontic patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2023
The aim of this study is to evaluate if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in WNT6 and WNT10A are associated with the risk of dental pulp calcification in orthodontic patients.

Early diagnosis of aortic calcification through dental X-ray examination for dental pulp stones

Scientific Reports, 2023
Vascular calcification, an ectopic calcification exacerbated by aging and renal dysfunction, is closely associated with cardiovascular disease. However, early detection indicators are limited.

Investigation of genetic polymorphisms in genes encoding growth factors and dental pulp calcification in orthodontic patients [PDF]

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research
Background and objectives: Pulp calcification is associated with many factors and triggers, including individual genetic predisposition and orthodontic forces. This study aimed to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms in epidermal growth factor (EGF),

Correlation of dental pulp stones, carotid artery and renal calcifications using digital panoramic radiography and ultrasonography

Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, 2015
Background: The human tissues continuously undergo modification as deposition of calcium (CA) salts either in an organized or disorganized pattern. The latter pattern usually occurs in the soft tissues such as in arteries, brain, kidneys, lungs, and ...

Management of Different Types of Root Resorption Affecting Traumatised Permanent Maxillary Incisors—A Case Report [PDF]

Case Reports in Dentistry
Managing defects caused by pathological root resorption in permanent teeth can be challenging. If not diagnosed and treated efficiently, progressive root resorption can result in the loss of a tooth.

Dystrophic pulpal calcification and crown darkening as sequelae of dental trauma: Report of two cases

Saudi Endodontic Journal, 2021
Dystrophic calcification of pulp tissue is a phenomenon that occurs more frequently in teeth with a history of concussion and luxation or even in avulsed and replanted teeth.
