The evolution of external inflammatory root resorption due to trauma. Clinical case

Endodontic treatment is indicated for dental trauma associated with inflammatory root resorption. Within this context, we describe both the evolution and the therapeutic behavior of the two types of root resorption present in the same patient. The aim of endodontic treatment is to stagnate active resorption eliminating the infection and inflammation, thus allowing bone regeneration. Early diagnosis is crucial in the management of external root resorption, so that the earlier the endodontic treatment is applied the less severe the long term consequences of resorption will be.
