Internal root resorption management: Case series

Internal resorption is a rare resorption. It starts in the root canal and destroys the surrounding hard tissues. It is usually asymptomatic.Internal resorption is more common in anterior teeth due to trauma. However, it can be seen in posterior teeth due to the progressionof deep caries lesions to the pulp. Early diagnosis of the defect improves the prognosis of such teeth. In this case series, threeinternal resorption cases treated with hot vertical compaction and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) are presented. Careful treatmentplanning and sensitive treatment prevented tooth loss.
