Mineralized intrapulpal lesions were readily formed in the rat incisor after a single intrapulpal injection of the calcergen potassium permanganate, as well as after saline. Besides that there occurred irregular secondary dentin apposition and hard tissue over-bridging at the injection site. The mechanism of topical calcinosis in relation to pulp tissue was discussed.
