2. Hypercalcaemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercalcaemia

   Calcium deposits known as limbus sign may be visible in the eyes. [7] Symptoms are more common at high calcium blood values (12.0 mg/dL or 3 mmol/L). [6] Severe hypercalcaemia (above 15–16 mg/dL or 3.75–4 mmol/L) is considered a medical emergency: at these levels, coma and cardiac arrest can result.

3. Dystrophic calcification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystrophic_calcification

   This occurs as a reaction to tissue damage, [1] including as a consequence of medical device implantation. Dystrophic calcification can occur even if the amount of calcium in the blood is not elevated, in contrast to metastatic calcification , which is a consequence of a systemic mineral imbalance, including hypercalcemia and/or ...

   Heavy staining and calculus deposits exhibited on the lingual surface of the mandibular anterior teeth, along the gumline Calculus deposit (indicated with a red arrow) on x-ray image. In dentistry, calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque.

5. Calcification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcification

   Calcification of soft tissue (arteries, cartilage, heart valves, [1] [2] etc.) can be caused by vitamin K 2 deficiency or by poor calcium absorption due to a high calcium/vitamin D ratio. This can occur with or without a mineral imbalance. A common misconception is that calcification is caused by excess amount of calcium in diet. Dietary ...

   Diabetes appears to exacerbate the onset, progression, and severity of periodontitis. [62] Although the majority of research has focused on type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes appears to have an identical effect on the risk for periodontitis. [63] The extent of the increased risk of periodontitis is dependent on the level of glycaemic control ...

7. Ectopic calcification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_calcification

   Ectopic calcification is a pathologic deposition of calcium salts in tissues or bone growth in soft tissues. This can be a symptom of hyperphosphatemia. Formation of osseous tissue in soft tissues such as the lungs, eyes, arteries, or other organs is known as ectopic calcification, dystrophic calcification, or ectopic ossification. [1]
