Abstract

Abstract: Internal inflammatory root resorption (IIRR) is a rare, but significant consequence of dental trauma. Previous cases often focus on two-dimensional imaging. More widespread use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has seen improved diagnostic accuracy of these defects leading to more appropriate management. In this case report, an adolescent male patient complained of a missing front tooth (UR1). Dental history revealed intrusive trauma to the predecessor as a child. The UR1 was impacted with a dilacerated root. CBCT imaging revealed severe internal root resorption, and due to its extensive nature, extraction was advised. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Readers should be aware of the consequences of internal inflammatory root resorption and understand the importance of early detection with appropriate special investigations.
