External cervical resorption (ECR) involves tooth tissue loss from odontoclastic action, typically at the root

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Pathology
  • Dental Radiology

Background:

  • External cervical resorption (ECR) is a pathological process characterized by the loss of dental hard tissue.
  • ECR originates from odontoclastic activity, commonly affecting the cervical root surface of teeth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the etiology, predisposing factors, diagnosis, and management of ECR.
  • To highlight the importance of accurately identifying ECR lesion nature and location for effective treatment.
  • To evaluate the utility of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in managing ECR.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of external cervical resorption.
  • Analysis of diagnostic modalities for ECR.
  • Assessment of cone beam computed tomography's role in ECR management.

Main Results:

  • ECR etiology and risk factors are multifactorial.
  • Accurate diagnosis of ECR lesion characteristics is crucial for treatment planning.
  • CBCT provides valuable insights into ECR lesion extent and location.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding ECR's nature and location is paramount for successful treatment.
  • Cone beam computed tomography serves as a vital adjunctive diagnostic tool for managing ECR effectively.
