Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides images without overlapping anatomical structures, which is important for the diagnosis and assessment of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. This fibro-osseous lesion that affects the alveolar process without compromising the teeth’ pulp vitality is usually asymptomatic, and bone expansion, cortical disruption, and root resorption are uncommon. Due to its avascular characteristic, surgical procedures are often contraindicated. In this case, a 59-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of pain in the right maxillary central incisor. Panoramic and periapical radiographs showed florid cemento-osseous dysplasia in some regions. The right maxillary central incisor showed an extensive radiolucent image suggestive of root resorption but without fibro- -osseous lesion. For better evaluation and implant planning, CBCT was performed and demonstrated florid cemento-osseous dysplasia adjacent to the right maxillary central incisor, contraindicating implant placement. In other regions, CBCT enabled the identification of the expansive features of this fibro-osseous lesion.

Objective: This study sought to assess the frequency and severity of second molar external root resorption (ERR) due to the adjacent third molar and its correlation with the position of third molar and other related factors using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 320 second molars and their adjacent impacted third molars on CBCT scans of patients over 16 years, retrieved from the archives of Azad University Radiology Department. Presence/absence of second molar ERR, its location and severity (if present), and position of adjacent third molar were determined on CBCT scans, and recorded in a checklist. Data were analyzed using a logistic regression model. Results: The frequency of second molar ERR was 33.4% in the mandible and 14% in the maxilla. The severity of ERR was significantly correlated with the involved jaw (P=0.001) but had no correlation with age, gender, or depth of impaction of adjacent third molar (P>0.05). The mesioangular and horizontal positions of impacted third molars had a significant correlation with the frequency of second molar ERR (P<0.006). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, ERR occurring in second molars adjacent to third molars is common, especially in the mandible. Mesially inclined third molars have a greater potential of being associated with ERR in second molars.

External resorption is sequelae of necrotic periodontal membrane over a large area of root following an injury to the tooth. This usually occurs after severe dental injuries such as intrusion, severe luxations or exarticulation injuries complicated by a prolonged extra oral period. This case report presents a clinical and radiographic follow up (13 months) of treatment of inflammatory external root resorption on maxillary central incisor using Vitapex®. Gradual healing of resorption was observed radiographically with no tenderness or pathological mobility.
