Management of internal inflammatory root resorption with the aid of cone beam computed tomography: A case report

Managing a case of internal root resorption is a tedious task.Mostly it is detected in anterior teeth where trauma is mainly responsible for its occurrence. It is a chronic pulpal inflammation condition where signs and symptoms are elicited in due course of time. Successful treatment can be rendered only after proper diagnosis and elimination of etiological factors. In this article a case report of internal root resorption is presented where treatment was instituted after thorough analysis of CBCT sections. Keywords: Internal root resorption, Composite, CBCT.

Root resorption after dental trauma in permanent molar: a 5-year follow-up

Introduction: There is low incidence of trauma in posterior teeth, and their complications are rarely reported in the literature. This report describes a case of internal root resorption with communication with the periodontal area as a result of traumatic dental injury of a permanent molar tooth. Case Report: The treatment consisted of chemo-mechanical preparation and the use of calcium hydroxide as intracanal medication, followed by filling and sealing of the resorption area with mineral trioxide aggregate. Results: After 5 years of follow-up, the tooth was in function, without signs or symptoms and the resorption area was repaired. Conclusion: We emphasize the importance of follow-up in cases of dental trauma, even in cases of low severity, such as subluxative injury, in order to predict possible sequelae in advance. The correct approach to treatment of the resorption area and sealing with mineral trioxide aggregate ensured the successful outcome of the case.KeywordsMolar; Permanent dentition; Tooth injuries; Root resorption.

Monozygotic twins with idiopathic internal root resorption: A case report

This study presents the first case of internal root resorption in monozygotic twins. Genetic factors have been implicated in the development of root resorption lesions. The link between interleukin (IL)-1 gene polymorphism and root resorption had been reported. However, these studies have involved external root resorption. Twin healthy 17 year old Caucasian sisters were diagnosed with internal root resorption in their upper left central incisor. Neither had a history of orofacial trauma and neither had received orthodontic treatment. The presence of IL-1beta+C3953 allele is the sign of predisposed susceptibility to an exaggerated inflammatory response, including a limited feedback mechanism as a consequence of IL-1RN mutation. Most investigators agree that the listed polymorphism presents a significantly higher risk for development of pathological resorption. These were thought to be cases of true idiopathic resorption as none of the other factors related to root resorption was found.

Internal Root Resorption Associated with Inadequate Caries Removal and Orthodontic Therapy

This case report presents a case of internal root resorption originating from inadequate caries removal and orthodontic therapy in maxillary right lateral incisor in a 13-yr-old female. A preoperative, panoramic radiograph taken at the orthodontic office showed no evidence of resorption, however, the composite restoration in the coronal portion was inadequate. During 4 months of nickel titanium orthodontic wire activation, the patient suffered spontaneous pain. Periapical radiographs revealed internal root resorption in the middle third of the root. Endodontic treatment was accomplished and coronal restorations were completed with composite resin. Periodical radiograph examination as well as orthodontic treatment was continued. The tooth was clinically and radiographically healthy at the 18-month follow-up. The importance of the preoperative radiographic examination as well as radiographs during orthodontic treatment is affirmed.
