Subject: [roots] Most severe ECIR I ever saw

17 year old boy, referred because of the pink and greyish discolored central incisors. The patient noticed the onset
of these discolorations 2 months ago. The referring dentist asked me if the teeth could be saved. I am afraid I cannot
do anything for this patient.

It is hard to believe that there were no signs whatsoever indicating that this massive resorption was going on.........

Pity nothing can be done. Marga, don't you think that even 2 months ago when they first saw the discoloration the ICIR
was allready progressive ? Or do you think all this damage was done in those 2 months ? This is pure speculation of course.
No history of trauma ? What can be the cause then ? - Thomas

Any history of trauma?  That really is a shame in a kid that young with very few restorations.  Thank god for titanium.
