dc.description.abstractPurpose: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of pulp stones in a group of Turkish dental patients using panoramic radiographs and dental records, and to report any associations between the presence of pulp stones and age, sex, tooth type, dental status, dental anomalies or systemic diseases. Materials and Methods: Data were collected through radiographic examination of panoramic radiographs and dental records of 4798 dental patients. The presence of pulp stones was recorded. Chi-square analyses were used to compare the frequency of occurrence o75f pulp stones between the parameters. Results: Pulp stones were identified in 168 (3.5%) patients examined. Six hundred twenty (0.5%) of 122405 teeth had pulp stones. Gender, tooth type and dental status were correlated with the presence of pulp stones (p< 0.05). No significant association existed between pulp stones and age, dental anomalies or systemic diseases (p>0.05). Conclusion: Under the limitations of the present study, pulp stones were detected in 3.5% of 4798 patients and 0.5% of 122405 teeth examined using panoramic radiographs. Molars contained significantly more pulp stones than other tooth types. Carious and/or restored first and second molars exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of pulp stones than intact molars. Further studies are needed to clarify the higher pulp stone prevalence in molars and the possible association between the occurrence of pulp stones and pulpal irritations.
