Abstrakt: Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of external cervical resorption (ECR) and characterize the cases of ECR using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Methods: High-resolution CBCT scans of 6216 patients (2280 males and 3936 females), consecutively acquired during the period July 2021 to March 2022, were analyzed. Identified cases of ECR were characterized by 3 evaluators regarding lesion height, circumferential spread, portal of entry proximity to root canal, stage, location, and width.
Results: In a total of 38 patients and 40 teeth, ECR cases demonstrated an incidence of 0.61%. The median age of the patients was 39 years. Prevalence of ERC was 0.78% among males and 0.50% among females. The most affected teeth were the maxillary incisors and canines. The most frequent characteristics of the lesion were: extension up to the cervical third (47.5%), more than 270° circumferential spread (42.55%), probable pulpal involvement (57.5%), progressive stage (65%), supracrestal (52.1%) and mesial (34.7%) localization of >1 mm in size (52.1%) portals of entry. Cases with greater longitudinal involvement also showed greater circumferential progression (P = .008). There was no association between portal of entry location and bone crest or ECR reparative phase (P = .42). Inter-rater agreement ranged from good to very good. No association between portal of entry and ECR progression was observed.
Conclusions: ECR showed low prevalence in the Brazilian population, affecting mostly anterior maxillary teeth of patients within a wide age range. CBCT allowed characterization of ECR lesions with good interobserver agreement.
