Conclusions

Until now, root canal treatment is a good choice of treating teeth diagnosed with internal root resorption. Because the resorptive defect is the result of an inflamed pulp. Therefore, early detection is necessary for successful management of the outcome of internal resorption to prevent overweakening of the remaining root structures and root perforations since internal root resorption is often asymptomatic, and painful symptoms do not appear until an advanced stage of the lesion. CBCT in recent era no doubt has improved clinician to diagnosed internal root resorption more accurate.
