Evaluation of the Frequency of Pulp Stone Formation During Orthodontic Treatment in Three Periods: Late Adolescence, Middle-aged, and Young People
Background and aim: This study examines pulp stones, which are calcified masses found in the pulp chamber of both healthy and diseased teeth. Factors such as age, caries, periodontal disease, and orthodontic treatments can contribute to their formation. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of...

| description | Background and aim: This study examines pulp stones, which are calcified masses found in the pulp chamber of both healthy and diseased teeth. Factors such as age, caries, periodontal disease, and orthodontic treatments can contribute to their formation. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of pulp stone formation after orthodontic treatment across three age groups: adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged adults.
Material and methods: This retrospective study examined pulp stone formation in incisors and molar teeth of 57 orthodontically patients across different age groups consisting of adolescents (20 to 28 years), young adults (29 to 37 years), and middle-aged adults (38 to 47 years). A total of 19 patients per age group met specific inclusion criteria. All patients were treated with fixed orthodontics, having completed at least 12 months of treatment under the supervision of a single practitioner to minimize treatment variability. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 26 with a chi-square test to examine the growth of pulp stones in the coronal pulp area.
Results: Pulp stones were detected with a higher occurrence in the maxilla and among young adults compared to other groups. Additionally, the prevalence of pulp stones is higher in the maxillary central and lateral incisors as well as the mandibular first and second molars.
Conclusions: Although young adults demonstrated a higher prevalence of pulp stones in specific teeth, statistical analysis revealed no significant association between age and the formation of pulp stones. Consequently, age cannot be considered a determining factor in their prevalence. |
