  • Title: Treatment of severe pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption of a permanent second molar.
    Author: Davidovich E, Kreiner B, Peretz B.
    Journal: Pediatr Dent; 2005; 27(1):74-7. PubMed ID: 15839399.
    Abstract:
    Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption is a lesion often located within the dentin, adjacent to the dentin-enamel junction, in the occlusal aspect of the crown. As the lesions resemble caries, they are often referred as "pre-eruptive caries." The purpose of this case report was to describe the diagnosis and treatment of a permanent molar with pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption and to elaborate on possible associated clinical problems. After surgical exposure of the unerupted tooth, the tooth structure in the resorbed area was removed and the tooth was restored with glass-ionomer material. Three months after the treatment, partial pulpotomy had been performed and the restoration was replaced by amalgam. Elaboration on possible associated clinical problems is provided.
