calcification

n. act of calcifying

Dystrophic Calcification (D.C.) is the mineralization of soft tissue without a systemic mineral imbalance. A systemic imbalance would elevate calcium levels in the blood and all tissues: metastatic calcification. This occurs as a reaction to tissue damage, including as a consequence of medical device implantation.
