Conservative management of inflammatory root resorption with perforation–A case report

Dr. Moksha Nayak, Dr Priyanka Ri, Dr. Vidhya Shenoy

Abstract :

Inflammatory resorption occurs when the predentin or precementum becomes mineralized or, if the precementum is mechanically damaged or scraped off. It becomes progressive when, in addition to a denuded area of an internal or external root surface, there is additional long–lasting stimulation of the resorbing cells, such as sharp edges, increased pressure in the tissue, infection, or certain systemic diseases. In many instances advanced diagnostic methods such as CBCT may be required for a definitive diagnosis. The prognosis for treatment of small lesions of internal root resorption is very good. However, if the tooth structure is greatly weakened along with perforation, the prognosis is poor. This case report presents a successful management of a case of internal resorption with root perforation which was repaired using biodentine as a repair material.
