Histological Analysis of Radicular Dental Calcifications According to the Size

Aleksova Pavlina

Abstract: Introduction The intention of the study is to present morphology dental calcifications according to the size. Materials and Methods The present study was analyzed 60 extirpated pulps of teeth with endodontic diagnosis pulpitis chronic, and 40 pulps of extracted teeth, with the method of light microscopy, and by using standard differential histochemical stain. Results The results obtained from the carried out examinations showed the findings show values smaller than 1 micron, up to 1cm, measured per samples with continuous areas of calcifications which fill in almost the whole pulp, in a longitudinal direction. The transverse section is within the limits of 20 to 200 microns, whereas the longitudinal section is up to 500 microns. Conclusion With this study are confirm that regarding the size, calcifications show a wide range of variations.
