Internal root resorption is an unusual condition of a tooth when the dentin and pulpal walls begin to resorb centrally within the root canal.
A case of internal resorption with buccal perforation was found in a maxillary central incisor. As there was extensive lesion and continuous exudation, envelope flap surgery was suggested. The apical third was obturated with gutta-percha, and the perforated lesion was repaired with mineral trioxide aggregate. Thermo plasticized gutta-percha was filled in the residual canal space and composite resin was used to restore the coronal cavity. The symptoms and signs ceased, and the results were satisfactory at 2-year follow-up.
