Even in a sound tooth there are regions of pitting, and foreign incrustation, probably caused by metal removal and high contact spots.

Cm - Surface Aspect by SEMDf - Pitting
Scanning electron fractography of a chromium plated pin, close to the pin surface where the fatigue cracking started, showing intergranular morphology typical of a hydrogen embrittlement effect. It occurred because the low alloy pin was carburized, quenched and tempered, with a too high hardness structure, before the electrolytic plating.
