case_images: Radiographic and CBCT Images of Tooth #34. (A) Initial radiograph of the left first premolar taken 5 years prior, showing no signs of resorption or pathology. (B) Diagnostic periapical radiograph displaying a deep distal carious lesion and a significant resorptive defect in the coronal portion of the root of tooth #34 (white arrow heads). (C-F) CBCT images (in coronal, axial, and sagittal plans) of tooth #34, showing a large resorptive lesion extending into the midroot, with a distal perforation (white arrow heads) covered by surrounding bone. The lesion's extent is clearly demonstrated, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

case_images: Radiographs taken 5 years ago during a previous visit showed no abnormalities or signs of resorption (Figure 1A). A diagnostic periapical radiograph revealed a deep distal carious lesion along with a substantial resorptive defect involving the coronal portion of the root of tooth #34 (Figure 1B). A CBCT scan confirmed the presence of a large resorptive lesion extending into the mid-root area, with a perforation on the distal aspect of the root (Figure 1C-F).
