Abstract

External resorption is sequelae of necrotic periodontal membrane over a large area of root following an injury to the tooth.This usually occurs after severe dental injuries such as intrusion, severe luxations or exarticulation injuries complicated by a prolonged extra oral period. This case report presents a clinical and radiographic follow up (13 months) of treatment of inflammatory external root resorp-tion on maxillary central incisor using Vitapex®. Gradual healing of resorption was observed radio-graphically with no tenderness or pathological mobility.
