Abstract
BACKGROUND

The objective of this work is displaying a successful treatment for an internal resorption case under operating microscope using bioceramic material.

CASE SUMMARY

Periapical radiograph showed radiolucent lesion representing large internal resorption of the root. The respective defect was obturated using endoscquence bioceramic material follow up at the month 18 after treatment revealed no abnormal finings clinically and radiographically.

CONCLUSION

New generations bioceramics have many advantages that internal root resorption cases can benefit from. The use of operating microscope helps to apply obturating materials with precision. However, long term study on a large sample is required in future studies.

Core Tip: New generations bioceramics have many advantages that internal root resorption cases can benefit from including easier handling ability and excellent seal. The objective of this work is displaying a successful treatment for an internal resorption case under operating microscope using bioceramic material. The use of operating microscope helps to apply obturating materials with precision. However, long term study on a large sample is required in future studies.
