Hypercementosis

A regressive change of teeth characterized by excessive development of secondary cementum on the tooth surface. It may occur on any part of the root, but the apical two-thirds are most commonly affected. (Dorland, 27th ed)

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Hypercementosis:

1.	MetalsIBA 01/01/1978 - "A contribution to the histological study of hypercementosis using metal staining."
2.	MineralsIBA 12/01/2022 - "Histology of extracted dental and proliferative mineral material revealed hypercementosis characterized by large sheets of eosinophilic matrix with lacunae (usually empty; presumed artifact) and frequent, irregular, basophilic cement lines. " 12/01/2022 - "Hypercementosis is infrequently reported to affect the cheek teeth of horses and presents as mineral deposits either attached (peripheral) or solitary ovoid (nodular) structures in the tooth bearing region. " 01/01/2013 - "By characterizing teeth extracted from the family 3 proband, we demonstrated that FAM20A(-/-) molars lacked true enamel, showed extensive crown and root resorption, hypercementosis, and partial replacement of resorbed mineral with bone or coalesced mineral spheres. " 01/01/2022 - "Six maxillary second molars with hypercementosis were measured for the mineral concentration using micro-computed tomography and calcium element distributions using electron microprobe analysis. "
3.	CateninsIBA 04/01/2023 - "We have previously reported that Axin2-expressing (Axin2+ ) mesenchymal cells in periodontal ligament (PDL) are the main cell source for cementum growth, and constitutive activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in Axin2+ cells results in hypercementosis. "
4.	Heavy MetalsIBA 01/01/2023 - "Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was used to map the distribution of multiple trace elements and heavy metals across equine healthy and diseased (hypercementosis-affected) hard dental tissues among four teeth extracted from horses with EOTRH. "

"
6.	FluoridesIBA 10/01/1983 - "Five expressions of dental fluorosis are described in cattle exposed to industrial fluoride pollution: 1. Hypercementosis with tooth ankylosis, cementum necrosis and cyst formation; 2. Delayed eruption of permanent incisor teeth; 3 Necrosis of alveolar bone with recession of bone and gingiva; 4. Oblique eruption of permanent teeth, hypoplasia of teeth with diastemata; and 5. Rapid progression of dental lesions. "
7.	ElementsIBA 01/01/2022 - "Six maxillary second molars with hypercementosis were measured for the mineral concentration using micro-computed tomography and calcium element distributions using electron microprobe analysis. "
8.	Dental MaterialsIBA 11/01/1991 - "Other opacities that represent normal structures or variations include dental restoration material, dental endodontic material, retained roots, sialoliths, salivary duct calculi, calcified lymph nodes, recent extraction sites, hypercementosis, and foreign bodies. "
9.	CalciumIBA 01/01/2022 - "Six maxillary second molars with hypercementosis were measured for the mineral concentration using micro-computed tomography and calcium element distributions using electron microprobe analysis. "
10.	BuffersIBA 06/01/2000 - "Artificial caries lesions were produced in roots of teeth using an acetate buffer system, when the layer of cementum was either normal in thickness, excessively thickened by hypercementosis, or had been removed completely. "
