Reparative endodontic treatment of a perforating internal inflammatory root resorption: a case report

The aim of this case report is to present a reparative treatment approach of an extensive internal inflammatory resorption with a lateral perforation and apical and lateral inflammatory lesions.Only the necrotic coronal part of the pulp was removed and the vital pulp tissue within the resorption cavity and the apical part of the root canal was left uninstrumented. Bleeding was induced and the blood clot covered with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Hard tissue repair and healing of the apical lesion could be observed in the 3-year recall.
