Summary

Invasive cervical root resorption, a rare condition, can occur years after periodontal surgery. This case highlights its development following gingival margin changes after modified Widman flap procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Periodontology
  • Endodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Invasive cervical root resorption (ICRR) is an uncommon external root resorption type.
  • Creeping attachment involves postoperative coronal migration of the gingival margin.
  • Long-term sequelae of periodontal surgeries require ongoing investigation.

Observation:

  • A rare case of ICRR is presented.
  • The resorption occurred 15 years after modified Widman flap surgery.
  • Coronal shift of interdental papillae preceded the ICRR.

Findings:

  • This case demonstrates a potential link between creeping attachment and delayed ICRR.
  • The findings suggest that long-term gingival changes may influence root health.
  • ICRR can manifest significantly later than the initial surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider the potential for delayed ICRR in patients with prior periodontal surgery.
  • Long-term monitoring of periodontal surgical sites is crucial.
  • Understanding the pathogenesis of ICRR following soft tissue alterations is important for prevention and management.
