Résumé
Root resorption consists of complex, multistep processes that involve cell signalling caused by inflammation and stromal cells, which promotes the secretion of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand/ macrophage-colony stimulating factor (RANKL/M-CSF) resulting in a resorptive process. The aim of this narrative review was to analyse the literature related to root resorption resulting from microbial infection and to comparing it with non-microbial infection. An electronic literature search was performed using the PubMed database and applying keywords of articles published in English. Eligible papers were reviewed to reveal the descriptions of bone and root resorption processes. The abstracts were searched manually to identify articles about infection-stimulating bone and root resorption. Three main types of root resorption were identified, two associated with primary bacterial infection and one secondary to bacterial infection. These include external inflammatory resorption, internal inflammatory resorption and external cervical (invasive) resorption. The magnitude of cytokine involvement that promotes resorption and M-CSF/RANKL production depends on multiple factors, including pathogen virulence, site of infection and host genetic factors that activate the inflammation at the infection site. Two mechanisms activate the resorption mechanisms-the canonical and non-canonical pathways that can activate clastic cells independently of the RANKL/RANK canonical pathways. Two pathways of root resorption co-exist in the body. When resorption is caused by infection, chronic inflammation due to bacterial infection prolongs the secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines that intensify root and bone resorption. The second pathway is bacterial independent of the non-infection root resorption that is part of the wound healing process, which is limited in time due to its innate ability.

METHODS
METHODS
An electronic literature search was performed using the PubMed database and applying keywords of articles published in English. Eligible papers were reviewed to reveal the descriptions of bone and root resorption processes.

Three main types of root resorption were identified, two associated with primary bacterial infection and one secondary to bacterial infection. These include external inflammatory resorption, internal inflammatory resorption and external cervical (invasive) resorption.
DISCUSSION
CONCLUSIONS
The magnitude of cytokine involvement that promotes resorption and M-CSF/RANKL production depends on multiple factors, including pathogen virulence, site of infection and host genetic factors that activate the inflammation at the infection site. Two mechanisms activate the resorption mechanisms-the canonical and non-canonical pathways that can activate clastic cells independently of the RANKL/RANK canonical pathways.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Two pathways of root resorption co-exist in the body. When resorption is caused by infection, chronic inflammation due to bacterial infection prolongs the secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines that intensify root and bone resorption. The second pathway is bacterial independent of the non-infection root resorption that is part of the wound healing process, which is limited in time due to its innate ability.
