Abstract:
In this case report, the treatment of external root resorption in a 21 years-old female by using non-surgical root canal therapy and the results were evaluated. The maxillary right central incisor was clinically and radiographically examined. On clinical examination, the maxillary right central incisor was found slightly discoloured. Radiographic examination revealed an irregular radiolucent lesion related to the apical third of the root. The resorption process was stopped, re- calcification was extended to the area beyond the root apex. A space was left for immediate placement of fiber post core then crown. Clinical and radiographical evaluation for next 3 months.
