<p>Pre-eruptive Intra-Coronal Resorption: Case Report and Treatment Options<br><br>CDR Willie S. Chao, DC, USN, LT Blake M. Rosacker, DC, USN and LCDR Brandon K. Peterson, DC, USN<br><br><br>Introduction<br>Pre-eruptive intra-coronal resorption (PEIR) describes a radiolucent lesion in the coronal dentin beneath the dentin-enamel junction of un-erupted teeth. The prevalence varies from 0.5 to 6% depending on the type and quality of the radiographic exposure, and age of patients used for assessment. The defect is usually located on the central or mesial portion of the crown. The depth of the lesion is variable and often does not involve the pulp. PEIR can be diagnosed by routine panoramic or bitewing radiographs, but frequently is overlooked during periodic dental examinations. Since these lesions look like caries, they can be mistakenly diagnosed as “pre-eruptive caries.” No association has been found between pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption and gender, race, medical conditions, systemic factors, or fluoride supplementation.<br><br></p>
