Abstract

The reaction of dentoalveolar apparatus in the presence of an infection cause an inflammation which is followed by tooth resorption. Depending upon the type of resorption and etiological factors, different treatment modalities are present. An incorrect diagnosis may result in inappropriate treatment. So, in this case, use of cone beam computed tomography for a definite and correct diagnosis has been done. The use of low-level laser (soft-tissue laser) has been seen effective in cases of root resorption because of their bactericidal effect on osteoclast cells. These cells had been seen at the site of resorption. The perforation site can be covered with amalgam, composite resins, glass ionomer cement, and more new advanced material, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The present article is the case report about the surgical management of external root resorption by using soft-tissue laser and MTA filling material in an endodontically treated maxillary canine.
