SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNICATING INTERNAL EXTERNAL RESORPTION USING BIOACTIVE MATERIAL: A CASE REPORT
Dr. Shikha Jaiswal, Dr. Sachin Gupta, Dr. Ayeesha Ansari and Dr. Shreshtha Sharma*
ABSTRACT
Internal resorption when left untreated may develop into perforating internal resorption, which might damage the remaining tooth tissue and perhaps include periodontal disease, complicating the prognosis of endodontic therapy. Such instances provide an endodontic challenge. The biomaterial used to treat such cases may also have an impact on the prognosis; newer calcium silicate materials may go a long way towards effectively treating patients that may otherwise have a bad prognosis. In this case report, the use of bioceramic repair material (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) during surgery was used to treat communicating internal and external root resorption of maxillary left central incisor. The successful peri-radicular healing of 21 was observed at six-month follow-up.
Keywords: Internal root resorption, Surgical management, Cone beam computed tomography, Mineral trioxide aggregate, External root resorption.
