Abstract

Introduction: Pre-eruptive intracoronal radiolucency (PECR) is a radiographic finding, with the appearance of a radiolucent lesion in the coronary dentin, adjacent to the dentinal-enamel junction, in unerupted teeth.
Objective: To report a case of possible pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption with extensive dentin destruction and pulpal involvement of a newly erupted second permanent molar.
Method: After defining the diagnosis, a conservative treatment was chosen, with direct pulp capping in order to maintain pulp vitality and end root formation.
Result: After treatment, the patient remained asymptomatic in the fifteen-day control, with normal vitality test and no signs of inflammation.
Conclusion: Careful interpretation of the radiographic examination is crucial for early detection and proper management of these lesions.
