AIM External apical root resorption is a common consequence of orthodontic treatment. A number of treatment-related factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of root resorption in orthodontic patients; however recent evidence suggests that genetic factors also play a major role in the development of this condition. Herein, we review prevalence, diagnosis and aetiology of root resorption ...

Internal root resorption is a chronic inflammatory process initiated within the pulp space with the loss of dentin. This condition demands a comprehensive understanding of the pathologic process, so as to identify the cause and arrest the resorptive phenomena. It is a rare occurrence, asymptomatic, with slow progression, detected through routine radiographic examination, where it appears as a r...

Root resorption might result in the premature loss of the affected teeth. Most teeth with internal and external root resorption are symptom free and are first clinically recognized through routine radiographs. Calcium hydroxide is used as a temporary intracanal medicament in the management of root resorption followed by mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) treatment.Lesions appears as a uniform, ro...

Idiopathic root resorption is a very rare phenomenon. Resorption in tooth is brought about by odontoclastic activity. Special mechanisms in the periodontal ligament exist to prevent mineralization of the periodontal ligament and these periodontal ligament cells produce factors that inhibit mineralized tissue resorption and are capable of regulating bone and cementum formation. When this mechani...

Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the post-surgical results autotransplanted teeth, considering pulp survival rate and periodontal healing. Methodology: Records 43 patients with 50 teeth were analysed. Demographic, clinical radiographic data verified. time between autotransplantation surgery date endodontic access considered assess rate. Periodontal healing observed throu...
