Abstract
External cervical resorption is a destructive condition that results in
the progressive loss of hard dental tissues, including enamel, cementum, and
dentin. Despite its aggressive nature, the exact causes of this condition
remain unclear. The approach to treatment varies based on the severity,
location, and choice of restorative material. Effective management of these
lesions requires careful consideration of the bone crest position and the
ability of the periodontal tissue to integrate with the chosen material after
it sets. This case report presents a clinical instance of external cervical
resorption affecting the maxillary first molar, treated using a specific
protocol that involves selecting different dentin substitute materials
according to the lesion’s position relative to the bone crest. The success of
this treatment relied on proper material selection and meticulous tissue
management. Combining various restorative materials has demonstrated promising
outcomes in addressing resorptive lesions in both supra- and infra-osseous
regions.
