Post-Op
Diagnosis
Patient presented with no symptoms. Radiographs and CBCT scan show invasive cervical external resorption.
Challenge
The location of the resorptive defect (on the palatal aspect of the root) would make a surgical repair very difficult.
Treatment
Prophylactic endo completed along with orthograde Geristore root repair. No surgical intervention was needed. Repair was made through the endo access on the palatal side of tooth.
