Assessment Of Internal Root Resorption Cases Reported To Private Dental Hospital - A Retrospective Study

Internal root resorption is an injury related reception involving roots of teeth. It will be asymptomatic but when the inflammation process happens, it communicates with the external tooth surface. In internal root resorption,the inflamed pulp tissue gets resorted within root structure. The tooth will remain asymptomatic until the inflammatory process communicates with the external tooth surface. The study is about investigating how many internal root resorption cases were reported to private dental hospital. Patients case records were reviewed and data related to internal resorption diagnosis and management were retrieved from total patients reports in between June 2019 and March 2020. Data were tabulated and statistical analysis was done using SPSS software(version 9.0.3). Three patients reported to hospital with internal root reception. Two patients were males and one patient was female. Teeth involved were 11, 46, 48. Within the limitations of the current study, it was found that 3 patients reported for internal resorption management. Frequent follow up of patients should be done for better management of internal root resorption.
