External Root Resorption

Resorption of the tooth represents a multifactorial and a perplexing problem for all clinicians resulting in complete or partial loss of tooth structure. The present clinical demonstration describes management of the permanent maxillary left central incisor (tooth number #21) affected by external root resorption involving the mesial and distal surface of middle one-third of the root. Conventional nonsurgical endodontic treatment followed by MTA (Mineral trioxide aggregate) obturation (PRoRoot MTA, Dentsply, Tulsa Dental Specialties) was planned. The root canal of the affected teeth was debrided with Dual Rinse HEDP (Medcem Weinfelden, Switzerland) containing etidronate powder and chemomechanical preparation of the root canal was performed with XP endo shaper file system (FKG Dentaire, SA, Switzerland). Thirtysix months’ post-operative follow-up revealed complete healing of the external root resorption defect with no clinical and radiological signs and symptoms. In the present case simple non-surgical endodontic management of severe external root resorption was done in a permanent maxillary tooth by using a continuous chelation irrigation technique, intracanal medicament followed by obturation with bio-ceramic material produced satisfactory results in contrast to the recommended surgical management. Resorption of the tooth being a multifactorial and a perplexing problem for all clinicians results in complete or partial loss of tooth structure. According to the Glossary of Endodontic terms, Resorption is defined as a condition associated with either a physiologic or a pathologic process resulting in the loss of dentine, cementum, and/or bone.1 Traditionally resorption can present either as internal or as external resorption.2 External root resorption occurs on the outer surface of the root and are of dissimilar nature such as external surface resorption, external inflammatory root resorption, ankylosis, and external replacement resorption, the most common being external inflammatory root resorption.3 According to the Glossary of Endodontics, “Inflammatory resorption is defined as an internal or external pathologic loss of tooth structure and possibly bone, resulting in a defect; occurs as the result of microbial infection; characterized radiographically by radiolucent areas along the root”.1 It may result due to dental trauma, forceful orthodontic tooth movement, long standing infection of the pulp or periodontal tissues. External resorption presents as a major resorptive condition of the root without any clinical signs and symptoms.2 The non-surgical management of external inflammatory root resorption is based on its aetiology, which needs to be eliminated

External Root Resorption

Background: Avulsion and reimplantation of permanent teeth represent a major challenge in terms of treatment and long-term prognosis. The present study reported clinical management of external root resorption of an avulsed and reimplanted maxillary central incisor. Case report: A 9-year-old boy reported an uncomplicated crown fracture and avulsion of tooth 11 and complicated crown fracture of tooth 21 due to trauma. Reimplantation of element 11 was obtained within 30 min post-trauma and 3 days after both elements were diagnosed with necrotic pulp. In addition, tooth 11 showed early external root resorption. Both elements underwent endodontic treatment and root closure with apical plug using calcium-silicate-based cement. At 6-month follow-up root resorption appeared to be arrested. Twenty-four months after trauma the clinical results were stable, although signs and symptoms of ankylosis were observed. Conclusions: An immediate endodontic approach and use of calcium-silicate-based cement seemed to contrast the progression of root resorption of an avulsed and reimplanted central incisor after 24 months of follow-up.

External resorption is sequelae of necrotic periodontal membrane over a large area of root following an injury to the tooth. This usually occurs after severe dental injuries such as intrusion, severe luxations or exarticulation injuries complicated by a prolonged extra oral period. This case report presents a clinical and radiographic follow up (13 months) of treatment of inflammatory external root resorption on maxillary central incisor using Vitapex®. Gradual healing of resorption was observed radiographically with no tenderness or pathological mobility.

External Root Resorption

Inflammatory external root resorption is one of the major complications after traumatic dental injury. In this case report, we describe treatment of a maxillary central incisor affected by severe, perforating external root resorption. An 18-year-old patient presented with a previously traumatized, root-filled maxillary central incisor associated with pain and sinus tract. Radiographic examination revealed periradicular lesion involving pathologic resorption of the apical region of the root and lateral root surface both mesially and distally. After removal of the root canal filling, the tooth was disinfected with intracanal triple antibiotic paste for 2 weeks. The antibiotic dressing was then removed, and the entire root canal was filled with mineral trioxide aggregate. The endodontic access cavity was restored with composite resin. After 18 months, significant osseous healing of the periradicular region and lateral periodontium had occurred with arrest of external root resorption, and no clinical symptoms were apparent.

We report the case of a 39-year-old male with Persistent Apical Periodontitis (PAP) caused by infection in an uninstrumented area, wherein conventional chemical root canal treatment is not possible, which was sterilized via highfrequency conduction. He underwent root canal filling after multiple endodontic treatments for tooth #4. As symptoms recurred, he was referred to our department with the chief complaint of dull pain during mastication. Present symptoms were percussion pain of the tooth, buccal mucosa swelling at the apical portion, and grade 1 mobility. Radiography revealed inadequate root canal filling. A radiolucent image 5×6 mm in diameter and with an unclear boundary was observed around the apex. External root resorption was mainly observed in the apical foramen, with a crown root ratio of approximately 1:1. Using 6% sodium hypochlorite under dental microscopy, chemomechanical root canal preparation was performed. Passive ultrasonic irrigation and calcium hydroxide application were conducted three times; however, periapical tissue inflammation did not subside. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with PAP, and the uninstrumented area was sterilized via high-frequency conduction. High-frequency currents were applied to the apex, root surface, and periapical lesion at 500 kHz and 90 V; periapical tissue inflammation resolved after 2 weeks. Subsequently, the root canal was filled. Follow-up radiography revealed a bone regeneration-like image at 2 months. Bone defects healed at 11 months. Although surgical endodontic therapy is conventionally performed in PAP patients, high-frequency conduction could be a minimally invasive nonsurgical endodontic treatment option for uninstrumented areas in PAP patients.

AIM: The aim of this study is to present severe root resorption following obturation of the primary molar with zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) at different follow-up periods. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 6-year-old boy with decayed lower primary molars. Pulpectomy for pulpally involved primary molars was performed. ZOE has been used as root canal filling material and follow-up was done at 3, 6, and 9 months. CONCLUSION: External root resorption was detected at 3 months and the resorptive process continued till 9 months. This finding emphasizes the need for alternative filling material with less irritating properties.

Introduction. Root resorption may occur as a consequence of avulsion injury and may lead to the progressive loss of tooth structure. The aim was to report the outcome of root resorption treated with mineral trioxide aggregate in a replanted immature permanent incisor after 10 years of follow-up. Case outline. This case presents external root resorption that was detected 18 months after the avulsion injury in a nine-year-old child. Apical portion of the canal was filled with mineral trioxide aggregate and the rest of the canal was filled with a canal sealer and gutta-percha. Control examinations were performed six months after the completion of the endodontic treatment and afterwards yearly. The tooth was asymptomatic clinically and radiographs did not show progression of root resorption up to four years of follow-up. Infraposition of the injured tooth was detected five years after the replantation, but without significant radiographic changes, until the eight-year follow-up, when root resorption was detected again. However, the tooth was still hard and symptomless at the 10-year follow-up. Conclusion. Mineral trioxide aggregate may have an important role in the preservation of replanted immature teeth for a prolonged period.

Intrusive luxation is a severe form of dental injury which causes damage to the pulp and supporting structures of a tooth because of its dislocation into the alveolar process. This paper shows the case of the reeruption of maxillary incisors accompanied by complicated crown fractures after 3 months. An 8-year-old boy patient was referred to the Department of Pedodontic Dentistry of Tehran University of Medical Science, Tehran, Iran, 18 hours after a fall at school. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed intrusive luxation of both incisors with complicated crown fractures. Cervical pulpotomy is the treatment of choice for traumatized immature intruded teeth with pulp exposure. Two months later, the right central incisor teeth reerupted to a normal position and the final aesthetic restorations were done. The left central incisor was spontaneously repositioned with external root resorption, and the team decided to use interim medication (calcium hydroxide) in the root canal for stopping the process of resorption, and by the 9-month follow-up, the process of resorption had been stopped. An MTA plug was placed into the canal, and the final esthetic restorations were done.

Clinical And Radiological Outcome

The aim of this paper is to present the clinical and radiological outcome of the treatment involving a delayed tooth replantation after an avulsed immature permanent incisor, with a follow-up of 1 year and 6 months. An 8-year-old boy was referred after dental trauma that occurred on the previous day. The permanent maxillary right central incisor (tooth 11) had been avulsed. The tooth was hand-held during endodontic therapy and an intracanal medication application with calcium hydroxide-based paste was performed. An apical plug with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was introduced into the apical portion of the canal. When the avulsed tooth was replanted with digital pressure, a blood clot had formed within the socket, which moved the MTA apical plug about 2 mm inside of the root canal. These procedures developed apical revascularization, which promoted a successful endodontic outcome, evidenced by apical closure, slight increase in root length, and absence of signs of external root resorption, during a follow-up of 1 year and 6 months.
