Abstract

Resorption is a physiological or pathological process resulting in the loss of dental hard tissue with or without bone loss. We present the case of a 19-year-old patient who presented with a discoloured and symptomatic mandibular canine tooth with complex root canal morphology. The tooth was located at the site of a previous alveolar fracture. Delayed presentation had led to severe external infection-related (inflammatory) root resorption. The protocol and rationale for non-surgical management of the case in a multi-visit approach is outlined. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The aetiology and presentations of external root resorption is useful information for clinicians
