Dental Pulp Stones Linked to Diabetes and Systemic Conditions

Posted: August 28, 2025
A recent study published in BMC Endocrine Disorders found that dental pulp stones, along with carotid artery calcifications, are more common in individuals with diabetes. The research, conducted at Yazd Dental School in Iran, analyzed panoramic radiographs of 107 diabetic patients and 300 healthy individuals. Key findings revealed that diabetic patients were more likely to have carotid calcifications and pulp stones. The study highlights the potential of panoramic radiographs in early detection of vascular changes, aiding in timely referral to manage cardiovascular risks. While the study suggests a link, it emphasizes the need for further research to establish a direct predictive relationship and consider factors like diabetes duration and treatment regimens.
