Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is a form of external resorption which affects the cervical area of permanent teeth and may progress to involve the pulp. It can cause insidious loss of tooth structure, which often is undetected until late in the process. Two cases, both involving the maxillary left central incisor where cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed an invasive cervical resorptive lesion, extending from the cervical to mid root region and perforating the pulp chamber. The cases were managed surgically with the help of a dental operating microscope (DOM). Nine months follow-up revealed resolution of the lesion and restoration of the affected teeth to functional occlusion. This report emphasizes the restorability of advanced lesions of ICR, if adequate diagnostic and treatment equipment is used. How to cite this article Ranna V, Sayed A.
