Fifteen cervical pulp horns were observed in the 40 extracted primary molars group (37.5%), 2. Ten cervical pulp horns were observed out of the 26 Indian primary molars group (38.5%), 3. Buccal extension of cervical pulp horns is 0.23 mm in the extracted primary molars group and 0.36 mm in the Indian primary molars group on average, 4. Cervical pulp horns of primary molars tend to be presented bilaterally in the same individual, 5.
