Internal root resorption is a chronic inflammatory process initiated within the pulp space with the loss
of dentin and is generally found in teeth with previous history of trauma. Since tooth is usually
asymptomatic, it is important to diagnose this condition and initiate treatment as early as possible to
improve the prognosis of such teeth. This paper presents a case having resorptive defect at the mid
root level which was treated non-surgically with thermoplastized guttapercha technique. One year
follow up demonstrated clinically asymptomatic and adequately functional tooth, with radiographic
signs of healing.
