Summary
This case study shows how an all-ceramic crown and post-and-core restoration effectively treated external inflammatory root resorption (EIRR) in a molar. The minimally invasive approach preserved the tooth, demonstrating successful long-term dental health.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Restorative Dentistry
Background:
- External inflammatory root resorption (EIRR) is a pathological process that can lead to tooth loss.
- Management of EIRR often involves complex treatment planning, balancing tooth preservation with long-term prognosis.
- Conservative treatment options are sought to avoid extraction and implant placement, especially in younger patients or those with financial constraints.
