Internal Repair of External Resorption - Case Studies

Patient: 58-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis

Chief Complaint: Asymptomatic

Dental History: The patient had a history of generalized periodontal disease, root abrasion, and TMJ disease.

This defect was not observable on the previous radiographs taken by her dentist and was presumed to have developed within the last 2 years. She was wheelchair-bound and not ambulatory.
