Bilateral severe root resorption associated with impacted maxillary canines: details on diagnosis and treatment plan – A case report
Journal Title: Stomatos - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 36
Abstract
Maxillary canines are the second most frequently impacted teeth in the dental arch. Root resorptions are often found in teeth adjacent to an impacted maxillary canine (IMC) and may potentially lead to tooth loss. The treatment is often complicated when diagnosis is established at a later stage. Computed tomography (CT) has been proven to be superior in determining the presence and degree of root resorption in teeth adjacent to IMC to support treatment plans and clinical decisions. This report describes the case of a patient with bilaterally impacted maxillary canines associated with severe root resorption of the right first premolar and the left lateral incisor and focuses on the importance of CT imaging for diagnosis and treatment plan.
