Key Points

The case report aims to address the management of external inflammatory root resorption (EIRR) using innovative biomaterials.
Patient with a history of trauma and previous root canal treatment.
Non-surgical endodontic therapy was performed initially.
Surgical repair utilized Bio-C root repair material and platelet-rich fibrin scaffold.
Cone-beam computed tomography was used to confirm the resorptive defect.
Postoperative assessment showed reduced symptoms like pain and mobility.
Improved periodontal health and stability of the affected tooth were observed.
The combination of biomaterials and regenerative techniques proved effective.

Abstract

Abstract This case report describes the successful surgical management of external inflammatory root resorption (EIRR) on a maxillary right central incisor in a 38-year-old male. The patient presented with discolouration, pain and mobility of the affected tooth, with a history of trauma and previous root canal treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography confirmed the resorptive defect. Treatment involved non-surgical endodontic therapy, followed by surgical repair using Bio-C root repair material and platelet-rich fibrin scaffold. Postoperatively, the patient presented reduced symptoms and improved periodontal health and stability, highlighting the efficacy of combining biomaterials and regenerative techniques in EIRR management.
