Abstract

Internal root resorption has been reported as early as in the early of the 18^th century. It presented with the classic oval-shaped enlargement of the root canal area. It can be classified as either inflammatory or replacement. Non-surgical root canal treatment for this diagnosis may present with an inimitable operative encounter. Clinical considerations: A non-surgical root canal retreatment had been attempted and discussed in this paper. The attempt has proved to give more time for the tooth to be functional in the patient mouth. Conclusions: The reduction from 8-mm to 4-mm in pocketing depth, resolving of periapical lesion and no signs and symptoms at the 6-months review provided a favorable outcome to once a hopeless tooth.
