Comparative Detection and Inter-Modality Agreement of Pulp Stones Using Digital Periapical Radiography and CBCT at Two Voxel Sizes: An Ex Vivo Study [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Pulp stones are calcified masses within the dental pulp that may complicate endodontic procedures. Although cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been reported to detect pulp stones more frequently than two-dimensional ...

Could carotid artery calcifications and pulp stones be an alarm sign for diabetes mellitus? A retrospective observational study [PDF]

BMC Endocrine Disorders
Background Carotid artery calcifications and pulpal stones are radiopaque findings that may be found accidentally in panoramic views. The risk of affliction with atherosclerotic events in diabetic patients with dystrophic calcification is questionable ...
