title: [Denticles: dental pulp calculi].
abstract: Denticles (pulp stones) are round to oval hard substance formations of various sizes that occur in the dental pulp or in the area of the pulpal dentin wall. They can occur free, without connection to the pulp wall (free denticles), fused to the pulp wall (adherent denticles) or embedded in the pulp wall (interstitial denticles).
