Internal root resorption (IRR) is the progressive reduction of intra-radicular dentin along with dentinal tubules because of osteoclastic activity. It is usually seen in the pulp space of molars and incisors as a radiolucent area. The prognosis of tooth to be treated endodontically can get complicated if perforation is present as it weakens the remaining dental structure and can lead to periodontal infection. A male patient reported with chief complaint of pain on biting and presence of gingival swelling in upper left central incisor. Radiograph indicated the presence of internal root resorption and apical obliteration. This case report describes the management of maxillary incisor with apical obliteration and internal root resorption by surgical approach followed by thermoplasticized gutta-percha obturation.
