Pathological calcifications that occur in various parts of the body may cause stone formation over time. The structure of these stones is similar in many regions of the body. We have studied the relationship between dental calculi and kidney stones.
A total of 183 patients with dental stone complaints or dental calculi were included between April and August 2016 in the Cagri Dental Hospital, Elazig, Turkey. Patients were evaluated with regard to a urinary tract ultrasonography, urinalysis, oral hygiene, and stone and surgical disease history. All information was statistically investigated.
The age of the patients in the kidney stones group was significantly higher than the non-kidney stone patients (p < 0.05). In the group with kidney stones, the percentage of dental calculus formation was significantly higher than the group without stones (p < 0.05). In the groups with and without kidney stones, dental stone recurrence rates did not differ significantly (p < 0.05). Urinary pH was significantly lower in the group with stones than the group without stones (p < 0.05).
During a physical examination, the formation of a visible stone, such as a dental calculus, may be an indicator of other types of stones, such as kidney stones, and this should be further investigated.
身体各部位出现的病理性钙化随着时间推移可能导致结石形成。这些结石在身体的许多部位结构相似。我们研究了牙结石与肾结石之间的关系。
2016年4月至8月期间，土耳其埃拉泽省卡格里牙科医院共纳入183例有牙结石主诉或患有牙结石的患者。对患者进行了泌尿系统超声检查、尿液分析、口腔卫生以及结石和手术病史方面的评估。所有信息均进行了统计学调查。
肾结石组患者的年龄显著高于无肾结石患者（p < 0.05）。有肾结石的组中，牙结石形成的百分比显著高于无结石组（p < 0.05）。有肾结石组和无肾结石组的牙结石复发率无显著差异（p < 0.05）。有结石组的尿液pH值显著低于无结石组（p < 0.05）。
在体格检查期间，可见结石如牙结石的形成可能是其他类型结石如肾结石的一个指标，对此应进一步研究。
