  • Title: Lesions resembling caries in unerupted teeth.
    Author: Skaff DM, Dilzell WW.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1978 Apr; 45(4):643-6. PubMed ID: 273855.
    Abstract:
    Two cases are presented documenting the recognition and treatment of defects in the coronal portion of unerupted mandibular second permanent molars. The teeth were surgically exposed and the lesions treated as deep pit and fissure caries. Small, vital pulp exposures were encountered in both cases. Calcium hydroxide was placed and restoration with amalgam followed. Normal root formation and eruption occurred for 24 and 6 months, respectively. A firm diagnosis of caries, external resorption, or internal resorption could not be made because of the lack of histologic study.
