A novel diode laser intervention in the management of external invasive cervical resorption.

"Invasive cervical resorption (ICR)" is a rare category of "external root resorption." It is a progressive and destructive condition with an unclear cause. Managing external "ICR" presents a significant challenge, even to the most seasoned dental professionals. The removal of excessively vascularized granulation tissue is viewed as a pivotal step. This case report highlights the use of a diode laser to excise granulation tissue, by achieving optimal tissue ablation, promoting better healing, and subsequently restoring the severely damaged crown of the external ICR tooth with an intracanal fiber post.
