Abstract
Internal resorption is generally noted in teeth with previous history of trauma. Often the tooth is asymptomatic. The diagnosis of this condition at an early stage improves the prognosis of such teeth. Therefore it is important for the dental fraternity to have adequate knowledge of this condition including its aetiology, clinical manifestation, radiographic interpretation and management. This case report describes two such resorptive defects which were treated non- surgically with thermoplasticized gutta-percha technique.
