AIM To address the indications, contraindications, surgical procedure, complications following treatment, factors influencing the results and success rate of intentional replantation procedure. BACKGROUND Intentional replantation is extraction of a tooth to do extraoral root canal therapy, curettage of apical lesion when present, and its replacement in its socket. It has been proposed as an a...

Multiple internal root resorption is a rare outcome of chronic irreversible pulpitis. In some cases, a chronic apical periodontitis can be later on associated. Usually, the conventional intraoral radiograph is mandatory in diagnosis but only CBCT proved to detect the true location, shape and size of resorptive defect and, if present, a perforation generated by resorption extension through the c...

Corresponding Author : Dr. Rekha Sharma Department of Orthodontics PDM Dental College & Research Institute Bahadurgarh-124507, Haryana (India) Apical root resorption is a common idiopathic problem associated with orthodontic treatment that results in permanent loss of tooth structure from the root apex. It has recently received considerable attention because of medico-legal exposure. Root resor...

Objectives: This study was aimed to evaluate external apical root resorption of the maxillary first permanent molars following cervical traction headgear during orthodontic treatment of Class II division 1 patients. Methods: Thirty-eight patients with Angle's class II division 1 malocclusion with a mean age of 13.4 (1.5) years were selected and divided into two groups. Headgear group comprised...

Root resorption is a pathological process involving loss of hard dental tissues. It may occur as a consequence of dental trauma, orthodontic treatment, and bleaching, and occasionally it accompanies periodontal disease. Although the mechanism of resorption process is examined in detail, its etiology is not fully understood. Wide open apical foramen is more difficult to manage and the root canal...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between root resorption and repair in human premolars that had been orthodontically intruded. The objective was to examine these processes related to time and root development. Seventy-six premolars were divided into subgroups: 33 teeth were intruded and then extracted (G1); 25 teeth were intruded and then left in situ for varying per...
