Generalised Hypercementosis in a Young Female Seeking Extraction: Revision and Update of Surgical Technique.

Hypercementosis is an excessive cementum deposition at the tooth root apex which occurs pathologically and represents as a body reaction to various stimulating factors including infection or endodontic treatment in most cases. Although hypercementosis mostly complicates teeth extraction, it is rare in daily dental practice. In the present case report, a generalised maxillary and mandibular hypercementosis in a young female patient is represented with a detailed description of its histologic, radiographic, and clinical characteristics followed by a review of surgical technique.

Association of Dental Caries, Retained Roots, and Missing Teeth with Physical Status, Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension in Women of the Reproductive Age.

Objectives: To investigate in women of reproductive age a possible association between particular dental diseases-dental caries, retained roots, and missing teeth-with some systemic conditions-physical status score- ASA (American Society for Anesthesiologists), diabetes mellitus, and hypertension.

Methods: Dental and medical history were retrieved from the electronic files of dental patients. Statistical analysis was performed using cross tabulation with the Chi-square test to explore the significance of an association between variables pertaining to dental diseases and the investigated systemic conditions.

Radiographic evaluation and determination of hypercementosis patterns in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Hypercementosis (HC) is an asymptomatic excessive cementum deposition at the dental root apex. There is a lack of research that determines the pattern and associated factors of HC in Saudi Arabia.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on a random sample of 815 Orthopantomograms (OPGs) that was obtained from a total of 14003 female patients archived OPGs.
