What causes Pulp Stones in teeth?

Answer 1

Pulp stones are discrete calcifications and are amongst

changes that include more diffuse pulp calcifications

such as dystrophic calcification. Stones may exist freely

within the pulp tissue or be attached to or embedded in

dentine. Two types of calcified bodies in the dental pulp have been described: denticles possessing acentral cavity filled with epithelial remnants surrounded peripherally by odontoblasts, and pulp stones being compact degenerative masses of calcified tissues. Pulp stones have been noted in patients with systemic or genetic diseases such as dentine dysplasia, dentinogenesis imperfecta, cardiovascular disease and in certain syndromes such as Van der Woude syndrome.

cause:The cause for formation of dental pulp stones may be interference in the blood and nutrition supply. But a recent study by U.S. researchers has found micro organisms called nanobacteria to be responsible for these pulp stones and also for calcified plaque in the arteries of the heart.
