Treatment of Perforating Internal Root Resorption with MTA and Management of Discoloration Caused By MTA: A Case Report

Abstract

Root canal perforation due to root resorption is a challenging clinical circumstance to properly diagnose and treat, particularly when it occurs in anterior teeth. Extraction of the involved tooth and subsequent replacement with an osseointegrated implant is usually indicated in many cases. This study presents a case management of a maxillary central incisor with perforating internal root resorption in the coronal third of the root. The treatment plan consisted of endodontic treatment with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, surgical operation, internal bleaching and coronal restoration.
