narrowing of the root canal on radiograph most likely…
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.
An 8-year-old's open-apex upper left central incisor was replanted 3 weeks ago. At follow-up, the dentist notes the tooth is asymptomatic, has normal mobility, and radiographs show no periapical radiolucency. The root canal appears slightly narrower than at the baseline radiograph. The narrowing of the root canal on radiograph most likely represents:
- A. Beginning of infection-related inflammatory resorption requiring immediate root canal treatment
- B. Internal root resorption that will progress to perforation if not treated endodontically right away
- C. Early pulp canal obliteration — the expected mechanism of pulp healing after replantation
- D. An artefact from a slightly different radiographic angle — no clinical significance at this stage
