Review 
tooth resorption
tooth resorption 
- the loss of hard dental tissue (i.e. cementum and dentin) 
as a result of odontoclastic action. 
- classified by its location in relation to the root surface 
- may be physiological and pathological 
- External resorption can be divided into three broad 
groups: 
(a) trauma-induced tooth resorption 
(b) infection-induced tooth resorption 
(c) hyperplastic invasive tooth resorption 
Heithersay,2007
hyperplastic invasive 
tooth resorption 
! 
insidious in nature and generally present complex therapeutic 
challenges 
resorbing tissue invades the hard tissues of the tooth in a 
destructive, and apparently uncontrolled fashion, 
akin to the nature of some fibro-osseous lesions such as fibrous 
dysplasia. 
An important distinguishing factor for this third group of 
resorptions is that, unlike the first two types of resorption, simple 
elimination of the cause of the lesion is ineffective in arresting 
their progress 
Heithersay,2007
hyperplastic invasive 
tooth resorption 
Total removal or inactivation of the 
resorptive tissue is essential 
The reason for recurrence or concurrence is 
probably due to the invasive nature of the 
resorptive tissue whereby small infiltrative 
channels are created within the dentine and 
these may interconnect with the 
periodontal ligament 
Heithersay,2007
Heithersay,2007
hyperplastic invasive 
tooth resorption 
pulpal origin or periodontal origin 
may be subdivided into 
internal replacement (invasive) resorption 
invasive coronal resorption 
invasive cervical resorption 
invasive radicular resorption. 
Heithersay,2007
Cervical external 
resorption 
Invasive cervical resorption is not a 
common occurrence, is insidious and often 
an aggressive form of external tooth 
resorption, and can occur in any tooth in 
the permanent dentition. 
Heithersay,2007
In the absence of treatment, invasive 
cervical resorption leads to progressive and 
usually destructive replacement of tooth 
structure. 
pinkish colour in the tooth crown 
may be no obvious outward sign 
its detection may be by routine radiographs. 
usually painless unless there is superimposed 
secondary infection when pulpal or 
periodontal symptoms may arise.

results in the loss of cementum and dentine 
by an odontoclastic type of action. 
begins just apical of the epithelial 
attachment of the gingiva at the cervical area 
of the tooth but can be found anywhere on 
the root. 
ICR is still not clearly understood. 
Heithersay,2007
Diagnosis 
! 
usually found at cervical region 
pink spot in the cervical region 
hard and mineralised on probing 
EPT usually positive 
usually no symptoms 
outline of root canal should be visible and intact 
cone beam CT is useful to assess the lesion 
Heithersay,2007
Etiology and 
pathogenesis 
Microscopic analysis of the cervical region of teeth 
has shown that there appear to be frequent gaps in the 
cementum in this area, leaving the underlying mineralised 
dentine exposed and vulnerable to osteoclastic root 
resorption. 
Heithersay,2007
Etiology and 
pathogenesis 
damage or deficiency of the protective 
layer of cementum apical to the 
gingival epithelial attachment exposes 
the root surface to osteoclasts, which 
then resorbs the dentine. 
Heithersay,2007
Histopathology 
similar to any other inflammatory root resorption

3 Conditions 
blood supply, breakdown or absence of the 
protective layer, and a stimulus 
In the case of ICR, the external protective 
layer is the cementum, and the internal layer is 
the predentine of the pulp. 
Heithersay,2007
Protective layer 
The exposure of pulp is prevented by 
the predentin layer 
predentin contains an anti-invasion 
factor and resorption inhibitor 
Shilpa ,2013
Predisposing factor 
Physical 
-orthodontic treatment 
—segmental orthonathic surgery 
-transplant teeth 
-bruxism 
-guided tissue regeneration 
Chemical agents 
-intracoronal bleaching 
-secondary bone grafting in 
unilateral complete cleft palate patient 
-tetracycline conditioning of root

Class 1: Small invasive resorptive 
lesion with shallow penetration into 
dentine. 
_Class 2: Well-defined invasive 
resorptive lesion close to the 
coronal pulp chamber. 
_Class 3: Deeper invasion extending 
into the coronal third of radicular 
dentine. 
_Class 4: A large invasive lesion 
extending beyond the coronal third 
of the root.

Management
Traditional method 
of treatment 
! 
Curetting the active tissue from the 
resorption cavity and restoring the defect 
with a suitable restorative material.

curettage, and restoration. Quintessence Int 1999:30;96-110.
Alternative 
treatment method 
the topical application of 90% 
aqueous trichloracetic acid, 
curettage and restoration, has been 
outlined and clinically assessed

curettage, and restoration. Quintessence Int 1999:30;96-110.
trichloracetic acid 
(TCA) 
is an analogue of acetic acid , It is 
widely used in biochemistry for the 
precipitation of macromolecules, such 
as proteins, DNA, and RNA. 
used for cosmetic treatments, such as 
chemical peels, tattoo removal, and the 
treatment of warts, including genital 
warts. It can kill normal cells as well.

curettage, and restoration. Quintessence Int 1999:30;96-110.
One advantage of this approach 
is haemorrhage control 
As the effect of trichloroacetic 
acid is to cause coagulation 
necrosis, the resorptive tissue is 
rendered avascular.

Monsel’s solution 
another option in case that TCA is 
not available 
a 72% solution of ferric sulphate 
with sulphuric acid 
John J,2012
Consideration 
in bonding 
Dentin that has been treated with TCA is 
severely demineralized and is not suitable 
for bonding with either dentin-bonding 
agents or glass ionomer materials. It must be 
‘‘refreshed’’ with a bur before bonding 
procedures 
Schwartz,2010
Multiple invasive 
cervical resorption 
First reported by Mueller and Rony 
in 1930 
since then numerous other cases 
have been documented where none 
of the common initiating factors 
appears to have been involved 
Liang,
Multiple invasive 
cervical resorption
Although mICR is rare in humans, a 
similar disease known as feline 
odontoclastic resorptive lesions 
(FORL) is common in cats. 
FORL has been associated with feline 
viruses 
all patients reported having had direct 
(2 cases) or indirect (2 cases) contact
blood samples were taken from all patients 
for neutralization testing of feline herpes virus 
type 1 (FeHV-1). 
Indeed, the sera obtained were able to 
neutralize (2 cases) or partly inhibit (2 cases) 
replication of FeHV-1, indicating transmission 
of feline viruses to humans. 
Thomas , 2012
The patient was questioned about 
possible contact with cats. 
She confirmed that she lives 
with several cats and reported that 
one (a 6-year-old female) had had 
severe drooling, and that 2 teeth 
had had to be removed by the 
veterinarian in April 2008. 
The veterinarian was contacted 
by telephone and confirmed that 
both teeth had presented with neck 
lesions, presumably feline 
odontoclastic resorptive lesions 
Thomas , 2012
Case report 
A 36-year-old woman presented with pain in 
her maxillary left canine and first premolar 
that had persisted for 15 day 
! 
!!
Patient history 
The patient’s history failed to reveal any incidence of 
trauma, orthodontic treatment,bleaching,periodontal 
treatment or other relevant information. 
! 
There was no family history of any similar condition, 
and she had no pets or any contact with cats. 
!
Further investigate 
Relevant ionic(calcium and phosphorus) , 
enzymatic(alkaline phosphatase) and endocrine 
investigation (T3,T4 and parathyroid hormone) report 
were normal 
A diagnosis of multiple idiopathic cervical resorption 
was made
Treatment 
Endodontic treatment for the canine and 
second premolar, followed by surgical 
exposure and restoration for the canine, 
second premolar, and first molar, was 
planned.
treatment plan 
consult oral medicine for further investigation 
and rule out the systemic disease 
consult periodontist for periodontal surgery 
consult endodontist for TCA application and 
root canal therapy if need 
consult radiology for cone beam CT 
consult occlusion to assessment the occlusion 
abnormally
Cone beam CT
Cone beam CT
Cone beam CT
Endodontic 
treatment 
Endodontic treatment might be necessary with some 
class 2 and usually class 3 lesions when pulpal 
involvement has occurred or is very close to occurring.
The use of RMGI 
The use of adhesive restorative materials has 
been proved a biocompatible alternative for 
restoration of deep lesion or cervical abrasion 
prior to surgical root coverage. 
The response of periodontal tissue to adhesive 
restorative materials has been studied by a 
number of investigators
Konradsson and Van Dijken,analyzed interleukin-1 
levels in the gingival crevicular fluid adjacent to 
subgingival restorations of resin modified glass 
ionomer cement and concluded that the restorations 
did not alter gingival health nor did they significantly 
affect interleukin-1 levels or induce gingival 
inflammation 
! 
Martins et al, analyzed the histological response of 
periodontal tissues to subgingival class V resin-modified 
glass ionomer cement restorations and 
observed biocompatibility of tested restorative 
materials.
treatment plan 
Periodontal surgery , TCA , 
curettage , restoration with 
RMGI wih/without endodontic 
treatment 
do nothing
Prognosis 
smaller lesions offer the most 
favorable long-term outcome. 
Heithersay has reported a 100% 
success rate in the treatment of class 
I and II ECR lesions The success 
rate in class 3 lesions was 77.8% and 
only 12.5% of teeth in class 4 cases.
