Abstract

The most significant cause of Internal root resorption is trauma which eventually can lead to destruction of crown or root portion of the tooth. Internal resorption is most commonly seen in the anterior teeth and initiates mainly from the root canal. It may also occur in posterior teeth due to caries involving the pulp cavity. Management of internal resorption requires diagnosis at an early stage using radiographic examination and diagnostic aids like cone beam computed tomography following which successful management of resorbed tooth can be accomplished. This case report demonstrates management of internal resorption in maxillary anterior tooth using calcium hydroxide as intracanal medication and favourable sealing of root canal with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) promoting periradicular healing.
