Intracoronal resorption (IR) is a condition characterized by the presence of lesions in the dentin of unerupted or erupting teeth, usually located just below the enamel-dentin junction in the occlusal part of the crown. This article presents two cases of IR-one with and one without pulp involvement. In both cases, the teeth were asymptomatic, and the lesions were discovered during routine checkups. The first case presents pre-eruptive IR with pulp involvement in an immature mandibular molar. To preserve the vitality of the growth zone and complete root development, vital pulp therapy was performed through total coronal pulpotomy and application of Biodentine. The second case is also of a mandibular molar with incomplete root development, but although it initially resembled invasive cervical resorption, treatment revealed that the granulation tissue was surrounded by intact enamel and did not affect the pulp or root of the tooth. No carious lesion was found. The tooth was conventionally restored with a composite filling.

Background: Pre-eruptive intra-coronal resorption (PEIR) is a condition in which unerupted teeth exhibit coronal radiolucency consistent with resorptive loss of coronal tooth structure. These lesions are discovered incidentally on routine radiographs.
Aim: To measure the radiographic interpretation and diagnostic accuracy of PEIR among dental practitioners at King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital using eye-tracking technology.

Aim: Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption (PIER) defects constitute an important part of anomalies associated with unerupted teeth. However, these defects are usually overlooked by clinicians whilst interpreting radiographs. This systematic review was thus orchestrated to find the global prevalence of PEIR.

The cervical resorption following intracoronal bleaching necessitates the application of impermeable cervical barriers. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two bleaching agents on the compressive strength (CS) and shear bond strength (SBS) of two self-adhesive resins, TheraCem and Vertise Flow, to composite resin restorative material. Two hundred sixteen specimens from TheraCem and Vertise Flow were prepared in special molds and treated in three groups: nonbleached (control); sodium perborate-hydrogen peroxide (SP-HP) (sodium perborate +3% hydrogen peroxide); and HP gel (35% hydrogen peroxide gel).

Background: Peroxide from bleaching agents can cause external cervical resorption. An intracoronal barrier is used to prevent leakage of bleaching agents into the periradicular space.
Aim: This study aims to determine and compare the amount of peroxide released, during non vital bleaching at the end of 1 and 3 day using Glass ionomer cement (GIC), Mineral Trioxide aggregate (ProRoot MTA) and Biodentine as intracoronal barriers.
