Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is a type of external resorption that is not well understood or well known in the dental community. It is often misdiagnosed, leading to improper treatment or unnecessary loss of the tooth. Treatment may involve the periodontium as well as the tooth and pulp, and management can be complex. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are the keys to a successful outcome. This case reports elaborates the surgical management of the perforating ICR.
