Indonesian Journal of Dentistry 2006; Edisi Khusus KPPIKG XIV: 69-73Evidence of an internal root resorption is quite rarely found in permanent teeth. In most cases it is usually asymptomatic and detected only by radiographic screening. The appearance in a radiographic view seems uniform, i.e. round to oval shaped radiolucent enlargement of pulp dental space. Trauma was Commonly recognized as one of the initiating factors of intemal root resorption. This case report of endodontic management will specifically focus on a maxillary left second premolar with internal resorption due to chronic pulpal inflammation. A common failure in performing a hermetic sealing of the root canals might depend on the complexity of anatomy of its root canals. Therefore, a modification of obturation techniques is needed. The report described a combination of a cold lateral condensation technique and a warm vertical condensation technique to improve the hermetic obturation. The result of this study shows that a combination technique could be used as an alternative technique in obturating the canals with an intemal root resorption. |
