The diagnosis and management of invasive cervical resorption

Article
Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is insidious in nature and generally represents a complex therapeutic challenge. ICR is often seen at the cervical level of the tooth.1,2 It is mainly initiated apical to the epithelial attachment.3-7 There is no clear and definitive explanation of whether ICR is purely inflammatory in nature or activated by sulcular micro-organisms.8 Alternatively, it could be a type of benign proliferative fibrovascular disorder in which the micro-organisms have no pathogenic role, but may become secondary invaders.4
The aetiology of such lesions could be associated with orthodontic tooth movement, trauma, periodontal disease or internal bleaching procedures.9 Clinically, the lesion may appear as a ‘pink spot’ on the crown of the tooth.10
