Invasive Cervical Resorption: An Insidious Form of External Tooth Resorption
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is an unusual form of external root resorption which initiates below the epithelial attachment and coronal aspect of supporting alveolar process to be precise zone of connective tissue attachment. It has an unclear etiology leading to its non diagnosis or misdiagnosis as a pink tooth (internal resorption). Dr. Geoffrey Heithersay contributed immensely in diagnosis and clinical classification of ICR into 4 stages based on its clinical, pathological and radiological finding and potential pre-disposing factors. These lesions can be treated by either non surgical or surgical intervention depending upon the access of the lesion or its progress towards pulp. Management of lesions of ICR should be treated with a primary objectives of i) Inactivation of all resorbing tissues and ii) Reconstruction or resorptive tooth defect by an ideal restorative material or biological systems. Earlier is the diagnosis more successful is the outcome of management of invasive cervical resorption. This article reviews on diagnosis of ICR, correlating it with its clinical, radiological and histo-pathological findings along with management in brief.
