Computed tomography as a diagnostic aid for extracanal invasive resorption

J Endod. 2003 Jul;29(7):463-5. doi: 10.1097/00004770-200307000-00009.

Abstract

A case of multiple extracanal invasive resorption is reported. The patient had a history of hypothyroidism for approximately 1 yr before the dental visit. Utilization of computed tomography and a rapid prototyping tooth model in diagnosing the exact location and the size of the resorption area are discussed.
