Internal resorption can be viewed as:

Root rot
Crown decay
Dental suicide
There is no such concept

Explanation

Answer: C - Internal resorption can be viewed as dental suicide. The tooth cells, for reasons unknown, attack the lining of the tooth. However, it is suspected that trauma or an incomplete root canal may attribute to the phenomenon. Often it is first seen when the crown produces a pink or rose color hue or during X-rays when it appears like a ballooned area.
