title: An unusual case of cervical root resorption.
abstract: Supraosseous extracanal invasive root resorption was diagnosed based on a radiographic survey, clinical examination, and microscopic examination of pulpal and exophytic soft-tissue specimens. Microscopic pulpal examination showed little or no evidence of significant inflammation. This resorptive process demonstrates extensive noncarious destruction of dentin without affecting pulpal health.
