Abstract

Resorption mechanisms triggered in teeth can lead to lesions, especially in impacted dentition. Evidence of these lesions can be detected via radiographic imaging and are often classified as pre-eruptive intra-coronal resorption (PIR). These external resorptive lesions do not typically present with symptoms of pain or discomfort, however, it is hypothesized that these cases may progress and affect more than ⅔ of the dental width.
