Introduction

Most of the clinical decisions are majorly influenced by information from diagnostic in a more
directly. Best treatments are achieved when accurate data, planning decisions and highly
predictable outcomes are also achieved when such data are accurately collected and analyzed.
The need to have a more innovative technology to offer information on clinical relevance of the
required data has led to the introduction of one beam computed tomography !BT". The new
technology has been intended to solve the problem that could not be done by conventional
radiography. #uperimposition that is found within the conventional radiographic has been
eliminated by the capability of assessing a specific area that interest $ dimensions !$%&". Images
that have objects that are superimposed on one another are usually produced by intraoral
radiography. By use of a '%& film, observers are able to ma(e decision on $%&. the greatest
advantage of BT is the fact that it can offer clinicians the ability to clearly observe particular
area in three planes that are different, (nown as sagittal, a)ial, and coronal as such, $%&
information is acquired. #agittal and a)ial views are usually used for particular value and are
normally not seen with conventional periapical radiography. BT is superior when compared
by the conventional periapical radiography and this is a result of the ability to reduce or
completely do away with superimposition of the structure. *hen the technology in use becomes
more prevalent, BT applications, such as endodontic, are easily identified. &iagnosis of canal
morphology and endodontic pathosis, assessing pathosis of a non%endodontic, analyzing of the
internal and e)ternal root resorption, among many other form the application of potential
endodontic.
Treating root resorptions !++" is usually a very comple) and misdiagnosed. It is very crucial to
have imaging to enhance diagnosis and a much more appropriate treatment. The description
given to radiographic features of both the internal and e)ternal resorptions was done by a number
of scholars. ,ff%angle radiographs have proved the differentiation of these entities. Technique
such as parallel radiographic has been very instrumental in differentiating e)ternal resorption
from internal resorption defects. +esorptive lesion nature is always confirmed by ta(ing second
radiograph in different position. *hen dealing with internal ++s, the position as per the canal of
the radiographs should remain the same. -ccording to radiological, internal resorption is
presented as mottled, cloudy, and radiopaque lesion that have margins that are not regular. It is
because of hard tissue deposits of metaplastic found within the canal space. There are always
some difficulties in a clinical differentiation internal resorption from e)ternal resoprtion more so,
when the entire resorptive captivity is has been occupied with metaplasia.
The accuracy on the diagnostic relies on the e)amination by the radio graphic and conventional
as are limited by the fact that produced images only give a '%diamentional representation and
that of $%&. There is high chances that the images of the atomic structures are li(ely to be
distorted, which can possibly promote misdiagnosis and result to incorrect treatment when
managing internal as well e)ternal root resorptions.
This paper will not dwell much on e)ternal resorption but on internal resorption. Internal root
resorption was reported in the early times of ./$0. Internal root resorption is a rare thing when
compared to that of e)ternal root resorption. There is no clear literature that describes the
etiology and pathogenesis of internal root resortiptions as does to e)ternal. It is therefore not very
easy to understand etiology or even the pathogenesis of internal resoprtion. The major reason that
has resulted to the clinical concern in the internal root resorption is its similarity with the e)ternal
cervical resorption. If not properly e)amined, there may be a case such as incorrect diagnosis
resulting from inappropriate treatment in particular cases. linicians can only perform decisions
that involve prognosis of the tooth after the resorption of the internal root is diagnosed. *hen the
diagnosis is done and the tooth found to be restorable and at the same time has reasonable
prognosis then the canal treatment is considered treatment of choice. Treatment for root canalis
aimed at ensuring that no any remaining necrotic coronal portion, apical tissue, and important
tissues that may trigger resorbing cells through blood supply and disinfect have the root canal
system obturate.
There are unique difficulties when preparing and in the obturations on the tooth that is affected
as presented by the international ++ lesions. In the access of the cavity, preparation need to be
conservative and highly preservative of as many tooth strictures as much as possible and ensure
that there is no more wea(ening of tooth that is already compromised. *hile beginning
chemomechanical debridement, teeth that has active resorbing lesions, granulation tissues, and
bleeding that comes from pulpal that is inflamed may end up impairing the visibility. In normal
cases, reasorption defect1s shape is what gives the inaccessibility to mechanical instrumentation
directly. In treating root canal, the main objective is disinfecting root canal system. That step is
usually followed by obturation of those disinfected can using appropriate root%filing things that
will ensure that reinfection does not occur. It is normally very difficult to adequately obdurate
internal ++ defects by its very nature. It is required that the material use in obturation be
flowable to ensure that resorptive defect is completely sealed. ,ne of the mostly used as a filling
material during endodontics is referred to as 2utta%percha. There are scholars who went ahead to
e)amine the worth of root filling particularly in the teeth with artificially manufactured internal
resorption cavities.
