摘要

Background

The present study aims to investigate the potential association between pulp stone and the Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet).

Methodology

Systemically healthy patients aged 18 years and older participated in the study. The patients were classified into two groups as the study group and control group according to the presence or absence of pulp stone. All patients were asked the 14-questions of Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS). The MEDAS score and adherence (low, medium, and high) to the MedDiet of the patients were determined. Data from these groups were recorded, and a statistical analysis was performed.

Results

A total of 212 participants (study group = 105; control group = 107) were included. In the study group, the number females (n = 94, 89.5%) was more significant than the number of males (n = 11, 10.4%). The teeth with pulp stone were mostly the maxillary first molars (9.0%). The MEDAS score and adherence to the MedDiet showed a statistically significant difference between the groups. The MEDAS score and adherence to the MedDiet of the study group were higher than the control group.

Conclusion

Based on the findings presented in this study, it can be said that there is an association between the pulp stone and the MedDiet and that the MedDiet nutrition increases the pulp stone.
