Summary
A fractured lateral maxillary incisor with an extra root, caused by external root resorption and periodontal disease, was successfully treated with endodontic therapy. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis and treatment outcome.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics
- Periodontology
- Oral Pathology
Background:
- Dental anomalies, such as supplementary roots, can predispose teeth to complex pathologies.
- External root resorption is a significant pathological process affecting tooth integrity.
- Periodontal disease can influence pulpal health and tooth prognosis.
Observation:
- A case study involving a lateral maxillary incisor with a supplementary root is presented.
- The tooth exhibited fracture due to external root resorption.
- Clinical and radiographic findings indicated the involvement of periodontal disease.
Findings:
- External root resorption was identified as the cause of fracture in the supplementary root.
- Periodontal disease played a crucial role in the observed clinical and radiographic manifestations.
- Endodontic therapy was performed as a treatment intervention.
Implications:
- This case highlights the intricate relationship between periodontal and pulpal diseases.
- Understanding these connections is vital for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
- Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis and the success of endodontic intervention.
