The disease can also cause root resorption in severe cases. Albert-Schonberg disease (osteopetrosis), lathyrism, and low-grade periapical inflammation do not typically cause generalized hypercementosis of the entire dentition.

This sustained contraction with minimal energy expenditure is a characteristic feature of smooth muscles.
