Case Report This report describes a rare case of a 19‐month‐old girl with pre‐eruptive intracoronal resorption in the lower left first primary molar which had erupted a few weeks earlier and had deep caries. The treatment is described. Conclusion Dentists who treat children must take into consideration the possibility of pre‐eruptive lesions in the primary dentition that may cause involvement of the pulp, either before or shortly post‐eruption.
