Figure 52: Micrograph of sample EIN-20. Three large pulp stones (asterisks) within the pulp cavity. These may arise as an age change or accompany inflammatory or degenerative changes in the pulp. Calcification of the pulp results in the formation of discrete, approximately circular mineralised masses (Marsland and Browne 1975). Finally, these may be completely incorporated into the dentine, as seen in Figure 21.
