Regenerative endodontic treatment of necrotic permanent teeth with pre-eruptive intracoronal radiolucency: a case report

Pre-eruptive intracoronal radiolucency is a rare dental anomaly with unclear aetiology, generally asymptomatic and diagnosed through routine radiographs. Failure to diagnose and treat it early can lead to rapid pulp damage, potentially compromising root development. The presented clinical report des...

Description
Summary:Pre-eruptive intracoronal radiolucency is a rare dental anomaly with unclear aetiology, generally asymptomatic and diagnosed through routine radiographs. Failure to diagnose and treat it early can lead to rapid pulp damage, potentially compromising root development. The presented clinical report describes a mandibular second premolar with pre-eruptive intracoronal radiolucency that caused early pulp necrosis with arrest of root formation and emphasises the endodontic management using regenerative endodontic therapy.
