We investigate the density of compactly supported smooth functions in the Sobolev space $W^{k,p}$ on complete Riemannian manifolds. In the first part of the paper, we extend to the full range $pin [1,2]$ the most general results known in the Hilbertian case. In particular, we obtain the density under a quadratic Ricci lower bound (when $k=2$) or a suitably controlled growth of the derivatives of the Riemann curvature tensor only up to order $k-3$ (when $k>2$). To this end, we prove a gradient regularity lemma that might be of independent interest. In the second part of the paper, for every $n ge 2$ and $p>2$ we construct a complete $n$-dimensional manifold with sectional curvature bounded from below by a negative constant, for which the density property in $W^{k,p}$ does not hold for any $k ge 2$. We also deduce the existence of a counterexample to the validity of the Calder'on-Zygmund inequality for $p>2$ when $Sec ge 0$, and in the compact setting we show the impossibility to build a Calder'on-Zygmund theory for $p>2$ with constants only depending on a bound on the diameter and a lower bound on the sectional curvature.
