Aim : To report the treatment and follow-up of a mandibular first premolar with internal resorption managed by root canal treatment & cold ceramic repair.
Summary: This study presents a case of extensive internal root resorption affecting tooth 34 (FDI) in a 63-year-old male patient, without a history of trauma in that region. Despite a guarded prognosis but encouraged by a healthy periodontal condition, treatment based on reconstructing the tooth with cold ceramic and composite restoration was carried out. Follow-up radiographs over 12 months demonstrated the maintenance of a functional tooth.
