Abstract
Histologic examination of a necrotic pulp from a traumatized tooth revealed mycotic organisms which could be identified morphologically. Actinomyces has been identified as part of the normal oral flora but has not been identified in necrotic pulp tissue histologically. The present case report is of interest because it showed the ability of autolytic pulp tissue to support mycotic growth. The tooth also gave a positive response to pulp-testing procedures, even though no new tissue could be demonstrated histologically.
