Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Oral Radiology

Background:

  • External cervical resorption (ECR) requires accurate assessment and management.
  • Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is recommended for evaluating root resorption.
  • Current classification systems for ECR are inadequate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel three-dimensional (3D) classification system for ECR.
  • To enhance communication and objective assessment of ECR lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a 3D classification based on ECR lesion height (1-4).
  • Inclusion of circumferential spread (A-D) and proximity to the root canal (d, p).
  • Utilizing CBCT for detailed assessment of ECR characteristics.

Main Results:

  • The proposed 3D classification provides a comprehensive description of ECR.
  • It accounts for lesion height, spread, and pulpal involvement.
  • This system offers a standardized method for categorizing ECR.

Conclusions:

  • The novel 3D classification offers a clinically relevant and accurate method for describing ECR.
  • It facilitates effective communication among dental professionals.
  • This classification enables objective evaluation of ECR's impact on treatment outcomes.
