Background: A pulp stone is a calcified mass that develops in the dental pulp of any tooth. Despite many studies examining the relationship between pulp stone formation and non-oral factors, the methods used in these studies have been unable to explain the exact role of these factors alone as distinct from probable effects within the oral cavity environment. Considering that totally unerupted (impacted or developing) teeth are unexposed to the oral cavity's environmental and functional conditions, they provide a more suitable material for studying the effects of these non-oral factors on pulp stone formation.

Article Synopsis
- Smokeless tobacco use can lead to conditions like smokeless tobacco keratosis (STK), which appears as a white-to-gray plaque in the mouth due to constant irritation from the tobacco products.
- A 50-year-old man with a 24-year history of smokeless tobacco use presented with a painful lesion in his mouth, which was diagnosed as STK with mild dysplastic changes after clinical and histopathological evaluation.
- A management plan emphasizing oral hygiene, cessation of tobacco use, and regular monitoring was implemented, resulting in improvement of the lesion after he stopped using tobacco, highlighting the importance of early detection and education about tobacco's harmful effects.
Purpose: To assess the prevalence and distribution of pulp stones in a Saudi population.
Methods: A cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis of 150 upper and 150 lower dental arches was performed. The relationships between pulp stones and age, sex, tooth type, dental arch, orthodontic treatment, caries, and restoration were statistically examined (P < 0.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between dental calculus and kidney stones, and to identify the risk factors associated with the presence of these conditions.
Methods: This study was carried out at the medical city, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between 2020 and 2021. The study included 141 participants (70 with kidney stones and 71 with controls).
