In dentistry, root resorption is the breakdown or destruction, and subsequent loss, of the root structure of a tooth. This is caused by living body cells attacking part of the tooth. When the damage extends to the whole tooth, it is called tooth resorption. Root resorption is very difficult to treat and often requires the extraction of teeth. - More from Wikipedia

I am attaching a case of infection related resorption and would like to know how/what you guys might have done differently. Obviously, the long term prognosis is poor and the goal is to maintain the tooth at least until she is at the age where an implant would be an option. Please...criticism, comments, etc. Bring the heat, I can handle it, and this is how we learn! :D Josh
