Summary
This case study highlights successful management of cervical external root resorption (CERR) in a pediatric patient following dental trauma. Preserving the natural dentition was achieved over a 6-year follow-up period.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Endodontics
Background:
- Cervical external root resorption (CERR) presents diagnostic and treatment challenges.
- Dental trauma can lead to complex complications like CERR in pediatric patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the clinical course and successful management of CERR in a pediatric patient.
- To demonstrate the long-term efficacy of preserving natural dentition in cases of CERR.
Main Methods:
- A case report detailing the diagnosis and 6-year follow-up of an 11-year-old male with CERR.
- Management involved addressing crown fractures, pulp exposure, and subsequent CERR in maxillary incisors.
Main Results:
- The pediatric patient developed CERR 24 months after sustaining dental trauma.
- Successful preservation of the natural dentition was achieved over a 6-year follow-up period.
Conclusions:
- This case illustrates that preserving natural dentition is a viable and successful treatment strategy for CERR in pediatric patients.
- Effective diagnosis and management are crucial for favorable long-term outcomes in pediatric dental trauma cases.
