Implant Restoration of External Resorption Teeth in the Esthetic Zone

Purpose The purposes of this article were to review the literature for treatment of teeth with external resorption secondary to avulsive injuries and to illustrate treatment of patients with teeth following different clinical scenarios to develop a predictable course of therapy. Materials and Methods Cases that demonstrate treatment of teeth with external resorption following injury during the growing period, external resorption treated with a delayed approach after tooth extraction, immediate grafting of the extraction site to repair labial bone loss, and immediate implant placement with provisionalization are shown. Conclusion Based on a review of the literature, the decision to place dental implants to replace teeth with external resorption can be timed depending on the location and type of the resorption, with excellent esthetic results.
