To detect the pulp stone radiographically and to investigate any association between the occurrence of pulp stone with age, gender, tooth type, dental arch and tooth status. Study Design: Prospective study. Setting: Department of operative dentistry LUMHS Jamshoro. Period: January 2014 to June 2014. Methodology: A total of 150 patients were randomly selected who came for treatment. All those patients with age range of 11-50 year who had undergone a diagnostic radiographs of premolar and molar region were included in this study. Results: Out of 150 patients pulp stones were detected in 66 patients (44%). we reported 42 females (48.27%) and 24 males (42.8%). most of the pulp stones were detected in patients with age 21-30 years (52.9%) followed by 31-40(42.8%). 540 maxillary and 420 mandibular teeth out of 960 total teeth and pulp stones were detected in total 124 teeth 76 maxillary and 48 mandibular. Conclusion: Pulp stone was found more in sound teeth followed by carious teeth and involved mostly molars.

Fractured incisors are restored with composite resin is a routine procedure. The retention of composite restoration is related to the bond strength of adhesive and the surface area existing for bonding. In absence of adequate bonding areas in fractured tooth of younger individuals with resilient dentin, additional retention through placement of self threaded pins will give the required support and maintain esthetics. additional retentive means, in the form of pins are often required for restoration of damaged and broken tooth, particularly in adolescent patient's teeth where pulp chamber is comparatively large, dentinal tubules are relatively immature and still gingival lines are high. The threading acts scatter and devour some of the placing energy by cutting part of pin channel in the dentinal walls. This case report fuses the retentive feature of self threaded pin with the esthetic advantage of composite restoration in fractured anterior teeth.
