Dental hypercementosis with chronic pulpitis

Istraživana je međusobna povezanost upale pulpe i pojave hipercementoze. Analizirano je ukupno 212 ispitanika (151 žena i 61 muškarac) s klinički utvrđenim kroničnim pulpitisom. Otvoreni kronični pulpitis bio je prisutan u 47 ispitanika (22%), a zatvoreni u 165 (78%) ispitanika. Pojava hipercementoze je ustanovljena u 14 (6,6%) ispitanika. Najviša zastupljenost hipercementoze je uočena u skupini ispitanika u dobi od 16 — 35 godina. Hipercementozom su najčešće bili zahvaćeni prvi donji i gornji kutnjaci, a zatim drugi gornji i donji pretkutnjaci, drugi donji i gornji kutnjaci te prvi gornji pretkutnjaci. Radiološkom analizom utvrđen je stupanj zahvaćenosti korijena hipercementozom. Od ukupno 14 zahvaćenih zubi, 5 je pokazivalo hipercementozu do 1/3 dužine korijena, 7 do 2/3 dužine korijena a samo 2 zuba iznad 2/3 dužine korijena.Interrelationship between chronic pulpitis and hypercementosis was studied. In total, 212 subjects (151 females and 61 males) with clinically established chronic pulpitis were examined. Open chronic pulpitis was observed in 47 (22%) and closed chronic pulpitis in 165 (78%) subjects. Hypercementosis was present in 14 (6.6%) subjects. It was found to be most prevalent in a group of subjects aged 16— 35 years. First lower and upper molars were observed to be most frequently involevd, followed by second upper and lower premolars, second lower and upper molars, and first upper premolars. The degree of root involvement was radiologically determined. Among 14 teeth affected by hypercementosis, 5 showed it to have invoved up to 1/3, 7 up to 2/3, and only 2 teeth more than 2/3 of the root length

Clinical importance of hypercementosis

U radu je prikazano nekoliko kliničkih slučajeva rendgenološki utvrđene hipercementoze zubnog korijena. Iako hipercementoza nije česta pojava, kliničar mora biti s njom upoznat zbog mogućnosti različitog utjecaja na terapijske postupke i kliničku prognozu. Hipercementoza može biti poželjna ako veće količine novostvorenog cementa doprinose dodatnoj čvrstoći parodontnog ligmenta, a nepoželjna ako dovodi do otežanog nicanja zubi, ili uzrokuje poteškoće prilikom ekstrakcije zuba.A number of clinical cases of roentgenologically ascertained tooth root hypercementosis is described. Although hypercementosis is not very common, a clinician should be made familiar with it because of a variety of its possible effects on therapeutic procedures and on clinical prognosis. Hypercementosis may be desirable in case when increased amounts of a newly formed cementum improve the periodontal ligament firmness, but also undesirable when impairing tooth eruption or causing difficulties in tooth extraction
