Pulp calcifications are uncommon in primary teeth, with second molars showing the highest prevalence (25%) and central incisors showing low occurrence (3%). This suggests pulp calcification incidence rises with age.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Radiology
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Pulp calcifications in primary teeth are not well-documented.
  • Understanding their prevalence is crucial for pediatric dental care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To radiographically evaluate the prevalence of pulp calcifications in primary teeth.
  • To identify specific tooth types most affected by pulp calcifications.

Main Methods:

  • Radiographic analysis of 120 extracted primary maxillary and mandibular teeth.
  • Categorization of teeth based on type and presence of pulp calcifications.

Main Results:

  • Pulp calcifications were observed in 25% of primary second molars.
  • Approximately 3% of primary central incisors exhibited calcifications.

  • No pulp calcifications were found in other primary tooth categories.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pulp calcifications are infrequent in primary dentition.
    • The low prevalence supports the correlation between age and increased pulp calcification.
