Abstract
Introduction. Kidney stones are more and more common among the population, and multiple physico-chemical elements, as well as numerous risk factors, lead to its occurrence. Dental plaque is found especially in patients with poor oral hygiene or a genetic predisposition and consists in the mineralization of bacterial plaque on the surface of the teeth or prosthetic works. Material and method. The study enrolled 107 hospitalized patients who presented reno-urinary stones and / or dental plaque. Results. Increased incidence of urolithiasis in terms of average age in women, while the incidence is higher in male patients over 60 years. Patients who also associated dental plaque showed an increase in the incidence of reno-urinary stones compared to those without tooth dental plaque, and women who had dental plaque showed a predisposition to urolithiasis compared to people without dental plaque. Conclusions. There is a close link between the appearance of dental plaque and renolithiasis, many factors contributing equally to their detection, and people with dental plaque are more prone to the appearance of renolithiasis compared to those who do not have the disease.

Summary
Reno-urinary lithiasis is the most common condition found in the population with a condition of the reno-urinary tract. The factors that lead to its occurrence are multiple being influenced by the physico-chemical processes that take place at this level, eventually leading to the appearance of a set of mineral microelements that aggregate to form kidney stones [1]. Multiple elements that participate in the formation of kidney stones are found in the formation of dental plaque. This is the result of mineralization of the bacterial plaque. It has been observed that, unlike kidney stones, which is more and more common, dental plaque correlates mainly with the demographic characteristics of the population, where in poorly developed countries the incidence of its occurrence is higher [2]
