Histological Evaluation and Management of Rare Case of Supernumerary “Ghost” Teeth
Figure 6
The ground sections of the two “ghost” teeth C (a-b) and D (c-d) under light microscope (a, c) and polarized microscope (b, d). The sections were stained with Toluidine Blue and Pyronin Y. Polarization highlighted a limited area containing mineralized tissue. The papilla in (b) did not present areas of calcified tissue, thus resulting as not birefringent.
