Figure 5: (a) Clinical picture showing pinkish discoloration of the cervical portion of maxillary left central incisor associated with minute cavitation. (b) Radiograph showing the presence of radiolucent defect on the cervical portion of the tooth. (c-e) Sagittal, axial and coronal cone beam computed tomography slices showing the clear three-dimensional extent of the resorptive defect which was more aggressive than assumed based on radiograph (note: The presence of early apical lesion is well appreciated in the sagittal and coronal slices than on the radiograph)
