Abstract :Aim: To evaluate the relationship between the severity of periodontal disease and the presence of pulp stones using panoramic radiographies. Material and Methods: The study included 96 individuals aged 18-45 years. The patients were divided into four groups as control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(periodontally healthy);, gingivitis, stage 1-2 periodontitis and stage 3-4 periodontitis. The patients\` panoramic radiographs and dental examination records were evaluated retrospectively and any pulp stones were recorded. The Chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between the presence of pulp stones and other parameters. Results: Evaluating the findings on a patient basis, the highest pulp stones were seen in the stage 3-4 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(79.2%); group, and the least pulp stones were observed in the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20.8%);. There was a statistically significant difference between the control group and the gingivitis group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.017);, the control group and the stage 3-4 group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, and the stage 1-2 and stage 3-4 groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.001);. On a tooth basis, the most pulp stones were observed in the stage 3-4 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.9%); group, and the least pulp stones were observed in the control group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.7%);. Conclusion: The severity of periodontitis was associated with increased pulp stones. The diagnosis and treatment of patients with endodontic-periodontal problems should be carefully planned accordingly. The presence of pulp stones, which can complicate accessing root canals in endodontic treatment, should be comprehensively investigated.
