    This case report details cervical resorption in a bleached, pulpless tooth, likely caused by a caustic bleaching agent. It supports a link between Superoxol bleaching and this dental issue.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Endodontics
    • Dental Materials

    Background:

    • Cervical resorption is a pathological process affecting the cervical portion of teeth.
    • Tooth bleaching, particularly with agents like Superoxol, is a common dental procedure.
    • The etiology of cervical resorption is multifactorial, but chemical agents are suspected contributors.

    Observation:

    • A case of cervical resorption was identified in a bleached, pulpless tooth.
    • The affected tooth showed no history of trauma or other identifiable causes for resorption.
    • The resorption was localized to the cervical region of the tooth.

    Findings:

    • The findings suggest a potential cause-and-effect relationship between the use of Superoxol bleaching agent and the development of cervical resorption.

  • Histopathological examination, if performed, would be crucial for definitive diagnosis.
  • This case adds to the existing body of evidence linking specific bleaching agents to internal tooth resorption.
  • Implications:

    • Clinicians should exercise caution when using potent bleaching agents like Superoxol, especially on pulpless teeth.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms by which bleaching agents may induce cervical resorption.
    • This understanding can inform safer bleaching protocols and improve patient outcomes in endodontic and restorative dentistry.
