Invasive cervical resorption is a pathological, insidious, resorptive and aggressive condition that occurs in the external cervical area of teeth and leads to progressive and destructive replacement of tooth structure. It can present as a pink spot in the cervical area or be totally asymptomatic. It is often a radiographic finding. It is frequently misdiagnosed as subgingival caries or internal resorption, leading to inadequate management. The goal of treatment is the removal of the pathologic tissue and reconstruction of the defect. The subject has gained interest in recent decades due to computed tomography diagnosis. A clinical case is presented of a 34-year-old female patient who consulted for a pink coloration in cervico-palatal tooth 11. After the diagnosis, treatment was carried out in 2 stages: a first endo-surgical restorative stage and a second stage with definitive endodontic obturation.
