Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption (PEIR) is a pathological condition characterized by the resorption of dental tissues within the crown of an unerupted tooth. This phenomenon is often identified incidentally through radiographic examination, as it typically presents asymptomatically. The exact etiology of PEIR remains unclear, but various theories have been proposed, including developmental disturbances, trauma, and genetic factors. This article aims to provide a thorough review of PEIR, following the CARE (Case Report) Checklist, to enhance understanding and awareness of this dental anomaly.(("Tooth, Unerupted"[Mesh]) OR "Tooth, Deciduous"[Mesh] OR "Permanent teeth" OR "Permanent tooth" OR Incisor OR canine OR premolar OR molar,) OR (((((((("Pre eruptive Intracoronal Resorption") OR ("Deciduous teeth")) OR ("permanent teeth")) OR ("PEIR")) OR ("Hidden caries")) OR ("Occult caries")) OR ("Management")) OR ("case report"))
