introduction: conventional methods for diagnosis of external root resorption (err) are based on clinical findings and x-ray observations which are not appropriate for early diagnosis. the present study assessed the effect of different sizes and field of views (fovs) in the diagnosis of simulated external root resorption by cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: in this dia...

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...
