Pre-Eruptive Intracoronal Resorption (PEIR): Literature Review and Case Report

Samah Omar et al. J Calif Dent Assoc. 2015 May.

Abstract

Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption (PEIR) are lesions that are often located in the occlusal portion of the crown in unerupted teeth. The etiology and pathology of these lesions remain unclear and most go undetected until later stages of development. Prognosis is dependent on early detection, and conservative treatment is recommended. This report reviews the etiology, prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of PEIR and describes a case of a permanent second molar with PEIR diagnosed in an 11-year-old patient.
