ABSTRACT
The study was designed to determine pulp stone from prepared ground section using BX 51 pentahead. The study
was performed in 200 subjects between 20-70 years of age. This study was aimed at determining the frequency of
pulp stones. The microscopically examined tooth showed pulp stone are extremely common, occurring in many as
90% of the people between the age of 50 to 70. Pulp stone seems to increase with age. True pulp stone are rare.
