The research, conducted at King Abdulaziz University, analyzed 402 teeth in 101 patients, revealing that PS were more common in molars and PCO in older individuals. Age, caries presence, and periodontal status significantly influenced the type of calcification. Notably, 40% of teeth with PCO showed periapical changes, emphasizing the importance of radiographic assessments in dental practice.
