"Internal root resorption: An endodontic challenge": A case series

Abstract

Management of internal root resorption is a challenge to the endodontists. It may occur in cases with chronic pulpal inflammation, following caries or due to trauma in the form of an accidental blow. Most cases of internal root resorption are seen in anterior teeth, due to their susceptibility to trauma. However, it may be seen in posterior teeth, most likely because of carious involvement of the pulp. Early diagnosis, removal of the cause, proper treatment of the resorbed root is mandatory for successful treatment outcome. This paper is an attempt to summarize the knowledge on internal root resorption and present various cases, which were successfully managed with different treatment modalities.

Histological evaluation of mineral trioxide aggregate and enamel matrix derivative combination in direct pulp capping: An in vivo study

“…[79] Although several case reports and clinical studies have evaluated the effect of MTA for pulp capping, very few histologic studies have been conducted. [891011]…”

Internal Resorption: An Endodontic Dogma: A Case Report.

“…In this case, the defect was non-perforating, so it was filled with composite resin and root canal was filled with warm vertical compaction. 6,7 The difficulty in cleaning the concavity of resorption area requests a cleaning with chemical substances that have an appropriate organic solvent capacity. The endodontic instrumentation of that resorption area can cause a communication with the periodontium that could complicate the prognosis.…”

Association of Age and Gender of Patients with the Type of Tooth Resorption Treated - A Retrospective Analysis

“…Internal root resorption has been described as intraradicular or apical, based on the location of the conditions. Intraradicular internal tooth resorption is an in lammatory condition that results in progressie destruction of intraradicular dentin & dentinal tubules along middle and apical third of the canal walls (Mittal et al, 2014). The resorptive spaces might be illed by granulation tissue or cementum like mineralised tissues.…”
