Traumatic injury to a tooth, such as a deep blow, can stimulate the formation of tertiary dentin or reparative dentin, which is a defensive response of the pulp to protect itself. This calcification process can lead to the gradual or even complete obliteration of the pulp chamber and canals, a condition known as pulp canal obliteration (PCO). The tooth remains vital but the pulp space is significantly reduced or fully closed
In fluorosis stain removal using microabrasion technique, both statements are correct: 1% ether is used to remove surface debris and organic pellicle from the tooth surface, preparing it for the etching procedure. 36% hydrochloric acid etches the enamel surface, removing the superficial fluorotic stains by creating micro-porosities. This combination technique (enamel microabrasion) effectively removes localized fluorosis stains from the outer enamel layer.
