From: Fred Barnett To: ROOTS Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 4:20 AM Subject: [roots] resorption Patient presented with necrotic molar that had a lucency just below the crown margins. Probing on the buccal surface below the crown revealed a rough surface...not like caries. After access, there were smooth and rounded areas that were buccal to the canal orifices - FredHi Fred, This looks like a classic case of invasive cervical resorption (or subepithelial inflammatory root resorption). This example depicts the condition in a fairly advanced form--the pulp seems to be completely necrotic. How did you manage this case? Many of these cases are usually extracted...ultimately - Peter I am doing the endo in two visits and will seal the entire chamber with resin. A flap will then be reflected to 'debride and restore' any visible - Fred
