“…3 In this pattern the area of destruction usually appears as a uniform wellcircumscribed symmetric radiolucent enlargement of the root canal. 10 It is characteristic radiographic sign that the internal pulpal wall is destroyed, whereas cementum and periodontium are not affected. Similar to other inflammatory resorptive defects, the histologic picture of internal resorption is granulation tissue with multinucleated giant cells.…”

Objectives: The aim of this case report is to report the radiographic features of an internal resorption in maxillary central incisor and to emphasize the benefits of CBCT in this case. Case Report: A 14-year-old male went to Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital with a discoloration of his fracture upper anterior teeth. The anamnesis revealed that the patient had history of a fall in about 6 years ago. Patient didn’t complain about pain when examination happened and wanted to have his teeth treated. Periapical radiograph showed an internal resorption in maxillary central incisor. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to see other findings before determining the treatment plan. Conclusion: Internal resorption gives a characteristic appearance on the radiograph. CBCT modalities provide more information than conventional ones so that the use of this modality is not only to establish a diagnosis, but also can be used in determining the right treatment plan.

“…Internal resorptions happen in the surface of the dentine walls that form the pulp cavity and are not as frequent as the external ones 4 6 7. Internal resorption is defined as an idiopathic slow or fast progressive resorptive process occurring in the dentine of the pulp chamber or root canals of teeth 8.…”

“…Resorption of calcified dental tissue involves demineralisation due to reversal of the cation exchange and lacunar resorption by osteoclasts. The resorptive process can progress at different speeds and with different periods of activity 2 4. Two main patterns are seen: (1) inflammatory resorption and (2) replacement or metaplastic absorption.…”

“…These annoying facts stimulate the pulp tissue, thus the inflammatory process starts and then some undifferentiated cells of the pulp can convert themselves to osteoclasts or macrophages, which result in dentinal resorption 1. In the majority of the cases, the internal resorption usually is asymptomatic and detectable by routine radiographs (Gunraj and Washington, 1999; Esberard et al , 2002; Hsien et al , 2003) 1 2 4. Histopathologically it is characterised by resorption of the internal aspect of the root due to the result of osteoclastic activity and the presence of lacunae which may be filled in by osteoid tissue, presence of multinucleated giant cells or dentinoclasts.…”

“…It is caused by transformation of normal pulp tissue into granulomatous tissue with giant cells, which resorb dentine. Trauma, caries and restorative procedures have been suggested to be contributing factors, but it also occurs as an idiopathic dystrophic changes 4 5. Most cases of internal resorption are asymptomatic and often detected as an incidental radiographic finding 5 6.…”

Internal resorption is a relatively rare resorption of dentine, which starts in the pulpal cavity either in the pulpal chamber or in the root canal and destroys surrounding dental hard tissues. The initiating factor in internal root resorption is thought to be trauma or chronic pulpal inflammation, but other aetiological factors have also been suggested. The prognosis for treatment of small lesions of internal resorption is good. However, if the tooth structure is greatly weakened and perforation has occurred, the prognosis is poor and tooth extraction must be considered. In this article we report a rare case of internal resorption in a 26-year-old male patient.

Objective: To compare the diagnostic efficacy of different devices for visualizing digital images in detecting simulated internal root resorption (IRR). Methods: 26 uniradicular human teeth were sectioned along its long axis and randomly divided into two groups. Then, they were submerged in hydrochloric acid (HCl) P.A 37% at different times to make two types of defects: Type 1 (2 hours), and type 2 (3 hours). Digital periapical radiographs were acquired in three moments: before section, after section and after immersion in acid. The images were evaluated on three different devices: 27-inch iMac Desktop, 8-inch Android Tablet, and 5.5-inch iPhone 8 Plus using a 5-point scale. Results: The sensitivity and accuracy values were higher with the use of the Android Tablet, for both types of defects. For the values of the area under ROC curve, higher results were observed with the Android Tablet and lower results with the iMac, showing a significant difference (p < 0.05) when comparing the use of the iMac with the Android Tablet and iPhone 8, for type 1 defects. When comparing the different devices, in the evaluation of images of type 2 defects, the values showed no statistical difference, regardless of the device evaluated (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The size of the lesion interferes with the detection capacity in the image. However, the use of portable devices does not impair the diagnosis of IRR, regardless of size and the dental practioners may use different devices/display, under optimal viewing conditions, to detect IRR lesions, without jeopardizing the diagnostic ability.
