External cervical resorption (ECR) refers to a pathological state in which resorption tissues penetrate into the dentin at the cervical aspect of the root. Despite being latent in its initial phase, ECR could cause severe damage to mineralized dental tissue and even involve the pulp if not given timely diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, the etiology of ECR is still poorly understood, which adds to the difficulty in early diagnosis. ECR has received growing attention in recent years due to the increasing number of clinical cases. Several potential predisposing factors have been recognized in cross-sectional studies as well as case reports. In the meantime, studies on histopathology and pathogenesis have shed light on possible mechanisms of ECR. This review aims to summarize the latest findings in the pathogenesis and potential predisposing factors of ECR, so as to provide pragmatic reference for clinical practice.

“… 3 Besides, the distribution of the resorption lesion is also a pathognomonic feature of ECR. 9 Concretely speaking, as ECR proceeds, resorptive tissues extend circumferentially or horizontally in the dentin while leaving the pulp intact. 10…”

“…However, it is important to differentiate these lesions by probing because depending on its state, caries will feel soft or sticky, whereas ECR will be hard and scratchy producing a scraping sound when probed (Patel et al, 2018c;Sarmento et al, 2020;Ehlinger et al, 2019). The lesion location on the root surface directly interferes on treatment (Patel & Beddis, 2019;Ehlinger et al, 2019;Libonati, et al, 2017). In advanced cases, a pink discoloration may appear on the tooth as a result of the soft tissue color shining through the thin tooth tissue overlying the resorption cavity (Patel, Foschi, Condon, Pimentel & Bhuva, 2018a;Sarmento et al, 2020).…”

“…It has been suggested two main treatment options: an external approach, requiring the surgical exposure of the resorption; and an internal approach, taking advantage of the endodontic access cavity (Sharma et al, 2019). Independently of the choice, the aim of the treatment is to completely remove the pathologic tissue and to seal the resulting defect without compromising tooth rehabilitation (Patel & Beddis, 2019;Sharma et al, 2019;Libonati, et al, 2017). More invasive treatments are indicated when lesions are too severe, requiring extraction of the tooth (Kamat, Puranik, Vanaki & Kamat, 2013).…”

Introduction: External cervical resorption (ECR) is a physiological or pathological event usually detected on radiographic examination, since there are no symptoms in its initial and intermediate phases. Objectives: This case is an important finding because the early detection of this lesion allowed an effective multidisciplinary approach to be carried out. Case Report: Radiography was taken in a 55-year-old male and revealed a radiolucent area on the distal surface of the permanent mandibular left first molar, suggesting ECR with impaired pulpal vitality. Based on the clinical and radiographic examinations, a multidisciplinary approach was established involving endodontic treatment, periodontal surgery and indirect restoration that provided an option for preserve the affected tooth. The early diagnosis of ECR was essential for the successful treatment in order to maintain the satisfactory function for five-year follow-up. Conclusion: Despite the procedures performed, the idiopathic etiology of the lesion contributed to the appearance of recurrences; however, monitoring and maintenance of the affected tooth proved to be important for the longevity of the treatment.

“…Algunos estudios refieren al blanqueamiento interno como un factor predisponente (del 3,9% al 6,9%, y el 13,6% asociado con otros factores). Además, se ha mencionado a los incisivos centrales como los dientes más afectados ( [8][9][10] ).…”

La reabsorción cervical externa es un proceso patológico con una etiología no comprendida en su totalidad. Los posibles factores predisponentes son el tratamiento de ortodoncia, los traumatismos, el blanqueamiento interno, el bruxismo, entre otros. El blanqueamiento interno es una forma efectiva y mínimamente invasiva de blanquear dientes no vitales, con un riesgo asociado con reabsorción, que al no ser tratado podría provocar incluso la pérdida dentaria. Este reporte de caso describe el manejo de dos incisivos superiores con reabsorciones cervicales externas, que tienen como antecedente tratamiento de conducto y blanqueamiento interno.
