Abstract
Aim: To describe the use of bioceramics in the non-surgical treatment of perforating internal root resorption.
Summary: Confusion over the subject of root resorption seems ubiquitous in the general dental community. Because of the several subheadings such as internal, external cervical, and apical, and because of a variety of causes for each, such as trauma, pressure, infection, inflammation, and systemic, the confusion can be understandable. It seems that this confusion arises primarily from the nomenclature describing the location and etiology of root resorption. This case report deals with perforating internal root resorption (IRR), its causes, diagnosis, and successful nonsurgical treatment, effectively using cone beam computed tomography to visualize the extent of the lesion and bioceramics to fill the defect. The differential diagnosis between internal and external root resorption is examined, as well as a review of the literature."
