Case Reports

Root canal calcification associated with prednisone therapy: a case report



SI Gold
Division of periodontics, Columbia University, School of Dental and Oral Surgery, New York, NY 10032.

This report details an 8-year follow-up of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who was treated with up to 60 mg per day of prednisone for more than 8 years. Radiographic documentation demonstrated complete calcification of all pulp chambers and root canals during an 8-year period. During this time, the patient had been successfully treated for case type III adult onset periodontitis. Follow-up examinations recorded minimal attachment loss, and radiographs showed stable bone levels.
