Management of External Resorption:A Case Report

Resorption of the ischolar_main can be either internal or external and may manifest in the form of perforations on the middle third of the ischolar_main surface. These resorptions may have undesirable sequelae such a gingival inflammation, periodontal destruction and bone resorption. Numerous materials have been tested to treat such lesions in the past. The present case makes use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and a periodontal flap for the management of external ischolar_main resorption. With the success of treatment and desirable outcomes at follow-up appointments, MTA proved to be an effective and viable material of choice.
