Cone Beam Computed Tomography-guided Management of Cervical Perforative Internal Resorption in Permanent Mandibular First Molar

Abstract

ABSTRACT Internal resorption in the permanent dentition is a rare pathologic condition. Clinical differentiation of perforative cervical internal resorption from cervical external resorption is considered to be a challenging task. Advanced imaging techniques, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) have proven vital diagnostic tools in the detection and management of these lesions. Management of a perforated internal resorption needs comprehensive endorestorative and periodontal approach. This article describes 1 year follow-up of the successfully managed perforative cervical internal resorption in permanent mandibular first molar. The affected tooth was endodontically treated, and the resorptive defect was restored with resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) through periodontal flap surgery.
