Purpose
</p><p>The management of trauma in the permanent dentition can present a significant
challenge to the dental practitioner. Proper medical and dental histories, a
thorough clinical examination, as well as a detailed history of the dental
trauma, will assist the dental provider in assessing orofacial injuries and are
instrumental in formulating a proper diagnosis.
</p><p>A common sequelae to dental trauma is pulp canal obliteration, also
referred to as calcific metamorphosis (CM).
</p><p>The purpose of this Clinical Update is to review the information necessary
for the proper diagnosis and clinical management of teeth with CM.
