SP-4 Invasive Cervical Resorption: Long-term Follow-up, the Use of CBCT in Early Diagnosis, and Various Treatment Modalities

4 (5 votes)

CE: 0.75

Our knowledge of etiology, disease progression and outcome of invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is limited. Case reports and research on the outcome of the disease and treatment modalities are also scarce. ICR is usually asymptomatic and is mostly discovered as an incidental finding during dental radiographic or cone beam computed tomographic (CBCT) examination. With the use of CBCT we are able to detect the early signs of ICR more accurately and as a result, improve the prognosis of the disease. Various surgical and non-surgical treatments have also been suggested. In this lecture, long-term progression of ICR, from early onset to 10 years will be reviewed. Moreover, the use of CBCT in diagnosing early signs of ICR will be discussed. Finally, various treatment modalities with follow up will be presented.

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Discuss ICR progression from early onset to advanced stages.
  • Discuss the benefits of CBCT in detecting early signs of ICR.
  • List and describe various treatment modalities in treating ICR.
