Abstract
Summary. The dental pulp may contain a considerable amount of calcified material. This originates from the pulp and takes the form of rods or tubules in the radicular pulp, or concentric spherical deposits in the coronal pulp. Chains of oval deposits may also form at the coronal end of the radicular pulp.Obliteration of the root canal may be due to dentinogenesis or to a massive diffuse pulpal calcification which has a herring‐bone structure and contains small spaces which could harbour bacteria. Growths of tubular dentine may be observed which take the form of flakes along the walls of the root canal and nodules around the walls of the coronal pulp chamber. These tubular excrescences may be observed invading the diffuse pulpal calcification to form a complicated cross‐linked calcified structure.
