Calcific Metamorphosis

Naresh Gaddala, Chandrasekhar Veeramachaneni

Abstract: Calcific metamorphosis (CM) is seen commonly in the dental pulp after traumatic tooth injuries and is recognized clinically as early as 3 months after injury. Opiniondiffers among practitioners as to whether to treat these cases upon early detection of CM or to observe them until symptoms or radiographic signs of pulpal necrosis are detected. In this case report, non surgical management of symptomatic completely obliterated maxillary central incisors was described.
