Abstract

Tumoral calcinosis (TC) is a rare entity causing abnormal periarticular calcifications in the affected joint observed in the first two decades of life. It is also known to affect the teeth. Few case reports on TC talk about the dental findings. This article presents the clinical, radiological and histological appearance of dental abnormalities in a 23-year-old female with TC. The differential diagnosis and dental management are discussed.Tumoral calcinosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abnormally short roots with complete or partial obliteration of pulp chambers in a young patient.
