Human and Feline Invasive Cervical Resorptions: The Missing Link?—Presentation of Four Cases

Reverse Sandwich Restoration for the Management of Invasive Cervical Resorption: A Case Report

“…The treatment for ICR is aimed at debridement and restoration of the resorptive defect by the placement of a suitable filling material so that the tooth may be healthy and esthetically retained. If a cone beam computed tomography scan has been taken, the position, depth in relation to the root canal, the true extent of the defect onto the labial or palatal aspects of the tooth, and, ultimately, the restorability of the tooth can be assessed objectively before any treatment is performed (9,15,21). Because this extraoral three-dimensional imaging facility was not available in our department, the patient was informed that the final decision on treatment can only be objectively made once the full extent is assessed by surgical exposure of the ICR defect (22).…”

“…Trauma was the second most frequent factor with 31 patients (14.0%) with 39 affected teeth (15.1%) (8). A possible role of feline herpes virus as an etiologic (co-)factor has also been suggested for humans (9). On the other hand, some reports have described severe invasive cervical root resorption of unknown etiology (10).…”

Understanding external cervical resorption patterns in endodontically treated teeth

“…Identify whether the resorption cavity contains granulation tissue. Apart from the clinical examination, an interview was conducted based on clinical and research experience (Bergmans et al 2002, Gunst et al 2011, 2013, Mavridou et al 2016b) and the existing literature (Heithersay 1999, Clement & Willemsen 2000, von Arx et al 2009, Patel et al 2009). The collected information was linked to the dental and medical history of the patient, which was provided by the referring dentists.…”

Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH): What do we know?

“…The pathogenesis of this form of tooth resorption may involve exposed dentin at the cemento-enamel junction (Patel et al 2009) but in a retrospective study in man (Heithersay 1999), orthodontic treatment, intracoronal bleaching of endodontically-treated teeth and a history of trauma were the most frequently associated predisposing factors. One case series in man suggested an association between invasive cervical tooth resorption with feline herpes virus type 1 (von Arx et al 2009). Invasive cervical tooth resorption rarely involves the pulp as the mantel layer of dentin appears to be resistant to clastic cells.…”
