Core Tip
Core tip: Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) denotes a particularly aggressive form of external tooth resorption that progressively destroys the tooth structure within the dentition. The outcome of the present case demonstrates the significance of early diagnoses of ICR; so that non-surgical approaches may be utilized instead of surgical interventions. This case study has explored the efficacy of non-invasive non-surgical approaches to treat ICR.
