Internal Resorption of Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report

Abstract

Internal resorption is an idiopathic slow or fast progressive resorptive process initiated within the pulp space with the loss of dentin. The internal resorption is a result of osteoclastic activity. The cause of internal resorption is not known but generally the patient has a history of trauma. Internal resorption is generally asymptomatic. It may be diagnosed on a routine radiographic examination. In the paper, a case of 32-year old female is presented. Internal root resorption was seen in the middle third of root canal of permanent central incisor. The case presented describes the management of internal root resorption. It is necessary that the condition should be diagnosed in early stages so that endodontic treatment is initiated before the resorptive process compromises the mineralized structures of the tooth.
