Abstract

Calcific metamorphosis is the obliteration of pulp canal space due to trauma or injury. Hemorrhage and blood clot formation in the pulp after injury is a nidus for calcification if the pulp still remains vital. Calcification replaces the cellular components of the pulp. Teeth with pulp canal obliteration prove to be a challenge to endodontic treatment. This case report describes the successful management of a tooth with calcified canal and perforation with six months follow up.
