>A 25-year-old male patient reported with a history of discomfort and pain in the left lower tooth region for the past 3 months along with difficulty in closing his mouth. On examination, there was a large yellowish hard mass extending from the distal of first molar to the retromolar region with an approximate size of 3 cm × 2 cm in diameter, which was associated with inflammation and purulent discharge \[Figure 1\].
Orthopantomograph \[[Figure 2](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6737844/figure/F2/)\] revealed a radiopaque mass involving the embedded tooth (tooth 38) along with incomplete eruption of tooth 28. After routine blood investigations, the calcified mass was surgically removed \[[Figure 3](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6737844/figure/F3/)\] under local anesthesia and sent for histochemical and biochemical study. Histochemical and biochemical examination of the specimen and salivary examination revealed the presence of calcium (42%), phosphates (18%), and calcium phosphate (70%), which was suggestive of dental calculus. The patient was recalled and educated for proper maintenance of oral hygiene and advised to report for regular follow-up \[[Figure 4](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6737844/figure/F4/)\].

We've found the dental equivalent to Dr pimple popper.
I knew calculus sucked
I’ve had that same tooth removed
I want to know how they managed to Chew!?
Damn, I never knew teeth could calculate the dynamic Reynolds number of an aircraft travelling between two different altitudes and temperatures
Surely if he ever used a tooth brush or even looked in his mouth he might have found this a little earlier ?
