title: Removal of calcified attached denticle with a pulsed dye laser. A case report.
abstract: This article presents the removal of an attached pulp denticle with the use of a pulsed dye laser. The quartz fiber was introduced in the root canal and placed in direct contact with the free border of the denticle. Thirty-two pulses were necessary to fragment the pulp stone. A scanning electron-microscopic study shows a sharp section at the base of the pulp stone.
