Internal Inflammatory Root Resorption. Management with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Gutta-Percha
Early diagnosis and accurate treatment are essential for Internal Inflammatory Root Resorption (IIRR) control. The aim is to present the sequence of diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of an IIRR using gutta-percha (GP) and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as obturation materials. This study exhibits an IIRR case in the #9 tooth of a 64-year old patient. History refers to a horse’s kick suffered ten years earlier. The tooth was asymptomatic during the interim time period but eventually the patient experienced symptomology.
Following a detailed exam, a treatment plan was reached to save the tooth and maintain its functionality.
