Presence and Treatment of Pre-Eruptive Intracoronal Resorption in the Pediatric Private Practice Population. Zamani, A, Golikeri, S
Research supported by BRANY IRB # 23-12-697-124(HHC)
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of pre eruptive intracoronal resorption (PEIR) lesions in the pediatric population, and different treatment modalities utilized by pediatric dentists. The objective is to determine whether treatment should be performed on PEIR lesions, or if they should be monitored if asymptomatic.
Results: Results of the current study are pending as surveys are to be distributed. Statistical analysis will be completed once the study period has concluded.
Conclusion: The hypothesis is that adolescent patients who have Asymptomatic Pre-Eruptive Intracoronal Caries (PEIR) should have dental treatment done in order to prevent further spread of the lesion apically into the nerve.
