the gingival margin to become involved in the
periodontal problems
• rarely small pulpal extensions may reach into
Centre of nodule and thereby constitute
additional hazard

5. Radiographic features
• Smooth round and well defined radiopacity
present along the root surface
• radiodensity is same as that of enamel
• it may have small core of dentine and rarely
pulp horn from the chamber of host tooth

6. Diagnosis
• Rounded opacity in the furcation area

7. Management
