    (a) Right maxillary molar (section) showing abnormal crown and pulpoliths; (b) thin mineralized slice of dental tissue (supernumerary molar) under polarized microscopy showing typical concentric architecture of pulpoliths at the limit between dentin and pulp next to zones with disorganized dentin (scale bar: 1mm); (c) same preparation showing a single pulpolith in the pulpar cavity with radiating canaliculi (scale bar: 200μm).
