Summary
External cervical resorption (ECR) is aggressive root resorption causing dental hard tissue loss. Advanced imaging like cone beam CT aids diagnosis and treatment planning for this challenging condition.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
- Radiology
Background:
- External cervical resorption (ECR) is a destructive dental condition characterized by significant loss of tooth structure.
- ECR is initiated by damage to the cementum, leading to clastic cell activity and hard tissue degradation.
- Clinical presentation is often delayed due to protective layers surrounding the root canal.
