Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to present a clinical case report in an elderly patient treated at the Odontogeriatric clinic at a University in the state of Pará in the city of Belém, which had internal calcification of tooth 47. Details of the case: This is a case of pulp calcification caused by the aging process, confirmed by periapical radiography: 70-year-old male patient, who presented tooth 47 with an extensive mesio-occlusal molten metal restoration, and vestibular fistula at the height of the root bifurcation. Endodontic treatments were performed on the radial thread of the distal root, curettage of the fistula under local anesthesia, provisional restoration and drug prescription according to the patient's clinical need. Final considerations: We can conclude on the report that there is a need for dental surgeons to seek greater knowledge about oral changes caused by aging, so that through proven diagnosis they can indicate more conservative treatments on calcified teeth.
