Intraoral hemorrhage caused by dental calculus: two case reports
Quintessence International (Berlin, Germany : 1985)
|June 6, 2020
Summary
Spontaneous intraoral hemorrhage can be challenging to diagnose and treat. This study identifies dental calculus as a rare cause of spontaneous intraoral bleeding, aiding in diagnosis and hemostasis.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Medicine
- Emergency Medicine
Background:
- Intraoral hemorrhage presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for clinicians.
- Spontaneous intraoral bleeding is an uncommon but critical condition.
- Identifying hemorrhage sources and causes can be difficult.
Observation:
- Two rare cases of spontaneous intraoral hemorrhage linked to dental calculus are presented.
- The authors observed that removing intraoral components, specifically dental calculus, was crucial for diagnosis.
Findings:
- Dental calculus was identified as the underlying cause of spontaneous intraoral hemorrhage in these cases.
- Hemostasis was achieved after the removal of dental calculus, which also clarified the hemorrhage points.
Implications:
- This highlights the importance of considering dental calculus as a potential etiology for spontaneous intraoral bleeding.
- Effective management involves thorough examination and removal of oral debris, such as calculus, to control bleeding and identify its source.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
