Summary
This case report details the successful treatment of invasive cervical resorption in a young patient. Early diagnosis using advanced imaging prevented further root damage and restored dental function.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Oral Surgery
Background:
- Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is a rare but destructive dental condition.
- Accurate diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial for managing ICR.
- Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) aids in assessing the extent of root defects.
Observation:
- A 17-year-old female presented with class 4 invasive cervical resorption.
- The resorption extended into the cervical and middle thirds of the lateral incisor root.
- No communication between the resorptive lesion and the root canal was observed.
Findings:
- Treatment successfully halted the invasive resorption process.
- The damaged root surface was restored, preserving dental function.
- No adverse aesthetic outcomes were reported post-treatment.
Implications:
- Radiographic examination and CBCT are essential for diagnosing ICR extent.
- Effective management can restore function and aesthetics in affected teeth.
- This case highlights successful treatment outcomes for advanced ICR.
