Case Presentation: We report of two cases. The first case involves a 9-year-old girl with PEIR of tooth 24 that was not identified on a panoramic radiograph taken one year earlier. The lesion later became clinically evident, presenting with symptoms and discoloration, and progressed to irreversible pulpitis requiring pulpotomy. This case highlights the importance of careful interpretation of paediatric panoramic radiographs and timely intervention to preserve pulp vitality in developing permanent teeth. The second case concerns a 16-year-old girl in whom PEIR was incidentally detected on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in tooth 38. As the tooth has not yet erupted, its future clinical presentation and progression remain uncertain. To the best of the authors\u2019 knowledge, there are no published reports specifically describing PEIR in patients from the Baltic region. Conclusions: Early radiographic detection of pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption is essential to prevent pulpal involvement and improve treatment outcomes, particularly when combined with careful interpretation of routine paediatric radiographs to minimize the risk of delayed diagnosis. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing asymptomatic disease progression and integrating multidisciplinary approach to provide individualized treatment planning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/reports9020190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,17]],"date-time":"2026-06-17T08:22:56Z","timestamp":1781684576000},"page":"190","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Pre-Eruptive Intracoronal Resorption: Report of Two Cases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2284-2591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"L\u012bna","family":"Petrova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dentistry, Riga Stradi\u0146\u0161 University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"},{"name":"Dental Clinic \u201cZobu Feja\u201d, LV-1011 Riga, Latvia"},{"name":"Shaju Jacob Pulikkotil Oral Health Research Group, Riga Stradi\u0146\u0161 University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u016blija","family":"Usti\u010da","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Clinic \u201cZobu Feja\u201d, LV-1011 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"El\u012bna","family":"Ras\u010devska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Stomatology, Riga Stradi\u0146\u0161 University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"},{"name":"Department of General Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Riga Stradi\u0146\u0161 University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5727-8255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaju Jacob","family":"Pulikkotil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaju Jacob Pulikkotil Oral Health Research Group, Riga Stradi\u0146\u0161 University, LV-1007 Riga, Latvia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"370","article-title":"Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption as an entity of occult caries","volume":"22","author":"Seow","year":"2000","journal-title":"Pediatr.
