    Pulp calcifications, including diffuse types and denticles, were found in 25.8% of primary teeth. Their occurrence was similar across tooth types, suggesting calcification increases with age.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Pathology
    • Pediatric Dentistry

    Background:

    • Pulp calcifications are common in permanent teeth.
    • Their prevalence and nature in primary teeth are less understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the occurrence and types of pulp calcifications in primary teeth.
    • To determine if calcification prevalence varies among different primary teeth.

    Main Methods:

    • Examined 120 extracted primary maxillary and mandibular teeth.
    • Used serial sectioning and hematoxylin and eosin staining.
    • Analyzed samples using light microscopy.

    Main Results:

    • Pulp calcifications were observed in 31 (25.8%) teeth.

  • Two types identified: diffuse calcifications and denticles (free/attached).
  • No statistically significant difference in occurrence across primary teeth (P > 0.05).

    • Conclusions:

    • Pulp calcifications are present in a notable percentage of primary teeth.
    • The findings support the theory that pulp calcification prevalence increases with age.
    • Further research may explore etiological factors in pediatric populations.
