Abstract
Internal root resorption is a pathological activity involving dentin deterioration within the root canal walls. Numerous variables, including traumatic injury, infection, and orthodontic therapy, can trigger this process. Traditional materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) have been utilized to treat internal root resorption but have limitations such as tooth discoloration and handling challenges. Bioceramic materials, such as Bio-C Repair, have emerged as possible MTA substitutes. This case study outlines the effective management of idiopathic extensive perforating internal root resorption using a non-surgical laser-assisted approach and the application of Bio-C Repair as an obturation material. The treatment resulted in the resolution of symptoms and the restoration of periapical tissues. Bioceramics, with their unique composition and favorable biological properties, offer the potential for effective tissue repair and provide alternatives to traditional materials in the treatment of internal resorption. The utilization of bioceramics, including Bio-C Repair, holds promise for achieving successful outcomes and preserving natural dentition.
