Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the link between specific genetic polymorphisms in BMP2, BMP4, SMAD6, and RUNX2 and the occurrence of pulp stones (PS) in a group of 117 participants, divided into those with PS (63) and those without (54).
- - Genetic testing was performed using saliva samples, and various statistical methods were applied to analyze the data, revealing that the SMAD6 gene polymorphisms, particularly rs2119261, were significantly associated with PS.
- - In contrast, no significant associations were found between PS risk and the genetic variations in BMP2, BMP4, or RUNX2, highlighting the potential role of SMAD6 mutations in the development of pulp stones.
Aim And Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of periapical lesions and possible associations with demographic, dental conditions, systemic diseases, and habit variables in patients from a private Brazilian university.
Materials And Methods: Data from 452 patients of both sexes, aged 18-78 years, from a Brazilian university were evaluated. Panoramic radiographs were analyzed, and the presence of periapical lesions was recorded.
The aim of this study was to analyze the saliva of patients with pulp stones, with sialometric and sialochemical tests. Eighty individuals, aged between18 and 65 years, of both sexes, were investigated. Patients were included in the pulp stone group when radiographic examination was suggestive of pulp stones in at least one permanent tooth, whereas those without this alteration were considered controls.
