ABSTRACT

This is a case of root resorption of a lower second molar, caused by an impacted third molar, the treatment consisted of a complete root seal with biodentine of the affected root and conventional endodontic treatment on the other root. For diagnosis and treatment, images with cone beam tomography and the Endoscope® function were used, which allows the interior of the root canals to be observed with three-dimensional images. With this treatment option, a surgical procedure is avoided and a favorable prognosis is established in the medium and long term.
