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...

Introduction: Internal root resorption is a progressive loss of dentin in teeth with inflamed and possibly partially necrotic pulp tissue. If diagnosed at early stages, the process is halted by endodontic treatment. While endodontic treatment is the preferred treatment modality for internal root resorption, current standard endodontic techniques pose a challenge for cleaning, disinfection and o...

invasive cervical resorption is a condition that affects the root surface area below the epithelial attachment. multiple treatment modalities are advocated, involving exposure of the invasive defect, removal of the granulation tissue and sealing with various restorative materials. this report demonstrates conservative treatment of a patient presenting with peri-apical periodontitis in upper rig...

Teeth with open apices, such as in immature teeth or those with apical root resorption are clinical cases with difficult immediate resolution. With the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in dentistry, it was possible to optimize the treatment time of these cases by immediate placement of apical plug and the root canal filling. However, some negative effects can occur if MTA is extruded bey...

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...

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...
