Resorption can be defined as the loss substances from any mineralized tissue, mediated by their own cell or humoral systems. The four mineralized tissues of our body are: bone, cement, dentin and enamel. Dental resorption is a process of destruction of the calcified tissues of the teeth, sometimes disturbing the outer part and some others their inner part. Internal resorption shows destruction of dentin, appearing in the area a well vascularized granulating tissue. Its origin is not yet defined and these lesions can be regarded as non regressive, which usually lead to the loss of the tooth.

Keywords : Dental idiopatic resorption; internal dental resorption.
