Abstract

Kalcifikacije pulpe dijelimo na pulpne kamence i kalcifikacijsku metamorfozu. Pulpne kamence dijelimo na prave, lažne i difuzne, a kalcifikacijsku metamorfozu na potpunu i djelomičnu. Dijagnosticirati se mogu radiološkom i histološkom analizom, od kojih je histološka preciznija. Na metamorfozu možemo posumnjati i prilikom obavljanja kliničkog pregleda ako nailazimo na zub koji svojom tamno žutom bojom odudara od susjednih zuba. Točan mehanizam nastanka pulpnih kalcifikacija nije u potpunosti razjašnjen, s razlikom da se nastanak pulpnih kamenaca povezuje s mnogim etiološkim čimbenicima, a kalcifikacijska metamorfoza je najvjerojatnije posljedica ozljede neurovaskularnog snopa. Same po sebi kalcifikacije ne zahtijevaju terapiju, a u slučaju infekcije potreban je endodontski zahvat. Zahvat je u tom slučaju kompliciraniji jer povećana količina kalcifikacija smanjuje vidljivost ili mijenja anatomiju pulpnog prostora. Da bi instrumentacija bila što sigurnija preporučuje se korištenje ultrazvučnih instrumenata.

Abstract (english)

Pulpal calcifications can be classified as pulp stones and calcific metamorphoses. Pulp stones can be true, false and diffuse, whereas calcific metamorphoses can be total and partial. They can be diagnosed by radiological and histological analysis, from which histological one is more precise. Calcific metamorphoses can be suspected of when clinical inspection is performed and we notice a tooth with darker yellow colour, which contrasts the colour of adjacent teeth. The exact mechanism of pulpal calcification occurrence is still not entirely understood, with a difference that pulp stones are related to multiple etiological factors, whereas calcific metamorphosis is most likely a result of a neurovascular supply trauma. Calcifications alone do not require any therapy, but in case of an infection, endodontic procedure is required. In that case, procedure is more complicated because the increased amount of calcifications is reducing visibility or changing anatomy of the pulp space. To make sure the instrumentation is safe, ultrasonic instruments are recommended.
