Stepping stones in combined Perio-endo treatment of cervical resorptions
Invasive Cervical Resorption (ICR) lesions are an insidious form of root resorption with an unclear etiology, and may be of an aggressive nature. ICR lesions present a diagnostic and treatment challenge, and often demands a multidisciplinary approach.
CBCT imaging allows us to be accurate in the diagnosis and classification of the lesion. We can identify the exact place and dimension of the entry point of the resorbing tissue, a key factor in treatment planning. Treatment is aimed at eliminating the resorbing tissue, disruption of blood supply to the resorbing tissue and restoring the tooth. The approach may be non- surgical or surgical and may include in some cases endodontic treatment. Orthodontic extrusion, root amputations or extractions may be indicated in some cases.
We developed a decision making tree based on the position of the ICR lesion regarding the bone crest, the width of its entry point and esthetic considerations. Narrow entry points may be successfully treated by an internal endodontic approach, without any periodontal surgery.
Esthetic consideration may result in forced eruption rather than resective periodontal surgery. Extraction is indicated in cases which present a wide infracrestal ICR lesion. Immediate implantation may be an option in these cases, since the site is most often not infected.
I will present clinical cases followed up for 3 years, depicting our decision making tree, treated with different treatment modalities.
