Clinical Management of Internal Inflammatory Perforating and Non Perforating Root Resorption Associated With an Apical Resorption and a Cystic Lesion: A Case Report

Abstract

Root resorption has been defined as the loss of dental hard tissue dentin and cementum as a result of osteoclastic cell action according to the glossary American association, of endodontics. It can occur following dental trauma; orthodontic treatment or chronic infection of the pulp and periodontal structure. It can lead to the loss of the tooth if untreated. Post traumatic root resorption could be challenging. The cone beam computed tomography allows making a reliable differential diagnosis between internal and external resorption as well to assess the extent of the lesion and the thickness of the residual walls in a 3d space. Timely intervention is essential for an optimum management. The present case aim was to report the surgical management of internal inflammatory perforating root resorption (IRR) complicated with a periapical cystic lesion using 3d imaging CBCT.
