inflammatory external root resorption (ierr) after orthodontic treatments is an unusual complication. this case report describes a non-vital maxillary premolar with symptomatic extensive ierr (with a crown/root ratio of 1:1) after receiving orthodontic treatment. the first appointment included drainage, chemo-mechanical preparation of the canal and intra-canal medication with calcium hydroxide ...

External root resorption in posttreatment orthodontic patients, if severe, may jeopardize the retention of the tooth or teeth involved. Numerous studies (1-5) have been undertaken to determine the relationship between the frequency and severity of external root resorption and orthodontic movement. Some investigators found the incidence of root resorption to be low (6-9), while others found it t...

abstract : inflammatory external root resorption (ierr) is a pathological phenomenon of microbial origin. this stu dy reports a case of external apical inflammatory root resorption of maxillary incisors associated with periradicular lesions in a 22 year old female, which was successfully treated by one-visit root canal therapy (rct). radiographic investigation revealed periapical radiolucencies...

external root resorption of permanent teeth is a multifactorial process. several etiologic and predisposing factors have been related to external root resorption. idiopathic external root resorption is defined as cases of external root resorption without a distinct etiologic factor. this article presents an extensive idiopathic external root resorption of maxillary first molar with irreversible...

Introduction: Inflammatory external root resorption in the permanent dentition is a dental complication, usually associated with inflammation of bacterial/endodontal origin. This case report describes nonsurgical root canal retreatment of a mandibular molar with inflammatory external root resorption (IERR) and open apex with calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement. Case Report: Radiographically, ...

introduction: external root resorption (err) is associated with physiological and pathological dissolution of mineralized tissues by clastic cells and radiography is one of the most important methods in its diagnosis. the aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the accuracy of conventional intraoral radiography (cr) in comparison with digital radiographic techniques, i.e. charge-coupled ...

external root resorption may be an uncontrolled phenomenon, and the most known interventions have no effect. even progressive external root resorption may not be controlled by long term ca(oh)2 therapy. currently, there are no treatment options for vital tooth that suffer from root resorption. this invasive resorption can lead to extraction of the tooth. the use of new technologies such as low ...
