PREVALENCE OF CORONAL PULP STONES IN RELATION TO BRUXISM AND RENAL STONES: A SURVEY IN GUJARAT STATE POPULATION.

Abstract

Introduction: Calcications can occur in the dental pulp as discrete bodies known as pulp stones. Etiology remains obscure. Calcication is a great enigma to an endodontist. A local or systemic condition may give a premonition of such a condition. Also this has been seen to vary according to the different demographic locations. Thus the purpose of my study is to investigate the prevalence of coronal pulp stones in relation to Bruxism and Renal Stones in Gujarat state population. Methodology: Patients with Bruxism and Renal Stones were involved in the study. RVG of all rst molars of each patient were recorded to check for the coronal pulp stones. The Data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS Software. Result: Co-relation exists between prevalence of coronal pulp stones in patients with Bruxism and Renal Stones. Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that patients with bruxism and patients with renal stones, do have a correlation with the prevalence of coronal pulp stones, in Gujarat state population.
