Abstract
Multiple idiopathic cervical resorption (MICR) is a disease of the tooth in which there is progressive cervical resorption of multiple teeth leading to exfoliation of crown. The etiological factors for such a resorption are various but the lack of definitive single etiological factor/disease process makes management of such processes extremely difficult. A flap surgery followed by restoration with glass ionomer cement was carried out for the cessation of resorption process, finally a cast partial denture was delivered for prosthetic rehabilitation.

Highlights
The first case of idiopathic cervical resorption was probably reported by Mueller and Rony in 1930
The radiograph taken during the first visit (Figure II2) showed progression of resorption in 24 which was normal in the previous radiograph
The clinical and radiographic distinction between cervical root resorption and root caries is helpful in order to establish the proper treatment plan
