Internal resorption: an unusual form of tooth resorption

Internal inflammatory root resorption: the unknown resorption of the tooth

Internal inflammatory root resorption is a relatively rare resorption that begins in the root canal and destroys surrounding dental hard tissues. Odontoclastic multinuclear cells are responsible for the resorption, which can grow to perforate the root if untreated. The initiating factor in internal root resorption is thought to be trauma or chronic pulpal inflammation, but other etiological fac...

An Insight into Internal Resorption

Internal resorption, a rare phenomenon, has been a quandary from the standpoints of both its diagnosis and treatment. It is usually asymptomatic and discovered by chance on routine radiographic examinations or by a classic clinical sign, "pink spot" in the crown. This paper emphasizes the etiology and pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in internal root resorption. Prognosis is good for smalle...

Literature Review – Feline Tooth Resorption

Internal tunneling resorption associated with invasive cervical resorption

Treating pathological defects that are caused by resorption in teeth can be challenging. The task is complicated further if the resorption extends beyond the restrains of the root. The aim of this report is to describe a case of extensive internal tunneling resorption (ITR) associated with invasive cervical resorption (ICR) in a maxillary right lateral incisor and its nonsurgical treatment. A 2...

Revascularization procedure in an open apex tooth with external root resorption: A case report

External inflammatory root resorption (EIR) represents a challenge in endodontic practice. EIR commonly occurs after dental trauma that results in periodontal ligament injury, pulp necrosis and subsequent infection.  Treatment of EIR is based on disinfecting the root canal system through chemomechanical procedures and then filling it with calcium hydroxide or triple antibiotic paste. Dental tra...
