Highlights
The etiology and pathogenesis of
internal inflammatory root resorption
are partly understood and thus an
attempt is made at the same.
The importance of chemical
debridement was emphasized.
An alternative to conventional
methods of management of
inflammatory internal root resorption
was shown and suggested.
Abstract
Internal inflammatory root resorption in primary teeth is a well-known entity with unknown prevalence. The diagnosis and conservative treatment of such a lesion has perplexed practitioners for decades. The management of a non-perforating internal root resorption is long been debated by general dentists and paediatric dentists alike. This case presentation describes the case of a 4-year old boy with non-perforating internal root resorption in a primary molar treated successfully with endodontic procedure and monitored routinely for four years. The objective here was to suggest a minimally-invasive treatment alternative to conventional treatment practices.
