Abstract

Objective: This report describes the treatment of a previously traumatized central central incisor affected by internal/external inflammatory root resorption. Method: This is the case report of a 12-year-old patient who reported a fall trauma one year before the consultation, causing crown fracture and intrusive dislocation in the right upper central incisor. Clinical examinations verified sensitivity to percussion and discoloration of the crown. Radiographically, radiolucent areas suggested inflammatory root resorption (in the third of the cervical root) and periapical lesion. Results: Endodontic treatment was performed with a calcium hydroxide paste with canouted paramonochlorophenol inserted into the root canal for 2 months. When a calcified barrier in the apical area was observed radiographically, the entire root was computed with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The tooth was followed for 4 years, showing regression of symptoms, healing by resorption and also increase in root length. Conclusion: The present case showed that endodontic treatment associated with MTA promoted bone remodeling of the periapical area and paralyzed resorption.
