These findings are most consistent with which type of resorption?
Dental trauma questions test protocol-level decisions — splint type, duration, follow-up timing — where one wrong detail means a wrong answer. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.
At 6-month review, a replanted upper central incisor produces a distinctly high-pitched metallic sound on percussion. The tooth has no mobility. Radiographs show absence of periodontal ligament space with root structure being replaced by bone-like density. These findings are most consistent with which type of resorption?
- A. Infection-related inflammatory resorption driven by bacteria in the necrotic pulp tissue
- B. Ankylosis-related replacement resorption — root replaced by bone, metallic percussion tone
- C. Surface resorption — a transient self-limiting process that resolves without any treatment
- D. Internal resorption — granulomatous tissue within the pulp canal resorbing from the inside
