Abstract :
Resorption of tooth structures can occur as a result of physiological, pathological, and idiopathic
factors. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent its serious complications. This case
report presents surgical endodontic management of a trauma-induced perforating external root
resorption, which was diagnosed with the help of cone beam computed tomography. Following
root canal treatment, intentional replantation of the tooth was performed so as to expose the
opening of the resorption defect to allow for complete debridement and closure. Eighteen months
follow-up showed arrest of root resorption, and progressive healing of the defect.
