Internal resorption occurring after accidental extrusion of iodoform paste into the mandibular canal.
The precise etiology of internal resorption is unknown but it is generally believed that triggering factors are infection and persistent chronic pulpitis. A case is presented with internal resorption, which developed subsequent to extrusion of iodoform paste from the adjacent tooth into the mandibular canal.
