Root resorption is a destructive process that compromises tooth structure and can result in tooth loss. Often it remains asymptomatic and is an incidental finding on radiographic examinations. The pur...
The study included CBCT scans of 1086 consecutive patients referred for CBCT imaging over an 18-month period. A total of 1148 scans were acquired. Data were abstracted from radiology reports, and prev...
Resorption was identified in 171 patients (15.7%, 95% CI: 13.6%-17.9%) and in 249 teeth with a prevalence range of 2.6%-92.3% across specific indications. An 18.7% of the patients had 2 resorption sit...
The high proportion of incidental findings of resorption detected by CBCT suggests that resorption is not recognized/detected by conventional radiography and therefore remains underdiagnosed....
The mechanism of action of root resorption in a permanent tooth can be classified as infection-related (e.g., microbial infection) or non-infection-related (e.g., sterile damage). Infection induced ro...
The aim of this narrative review is to describe the pathophysiologic process of non-infection-related inflammatory processes involved in root resorption of permanent teeth....
A literature search on root resorption was conducted using Scopus (PubMed and Medline) and Google Scholar databases to highlight the pathophysiology of bone and root resorption in non-infection-relate...
Three types of root resorption are related to the non-infection mechanism of action, which includes surface resorption due to either trauma or excessive orthodontic forces, external replacement resorp...
The resorption of the root occurs during the inflammatory phase of wound healing. In this phase, damaged tissues are recognized by macrophages and neutrophiles that secrete interlaukines such as TNF-α...
Wound healing exhibits different patterns of action that involves immune stimulation in a bio-physiological activity, that occurs in the proper sequence, with overlapping phases. Two pathologic condit...
The aim of this study is to systematically investigate the available evidence from human studies regarding the association of asthma and/or allergy with EARR....
Unrestricted searches in 6 databases and manual searching were performed up to May 2022. We looked for data on EARR after orthodontic treatment in patients with/without asthma or allergy. Relevant dat...
From the initially retrieved records, nine studies met the inclusion criteria (three cohort and six case-control). Overall, increased EARR was observed in the individuals with allergies in their medic...
Increased EARR was noted in individuals with allergies compared to the control group, while no difference was observed for individuals with asthma. Until more data become available, good practice woul...
External apical root resorption (EARR) is characterized by the definitive loss of tooth root structure, with a higher incidence in lateral and central maxillary incisors....
To identify, in different chronological periods, the incidence of EARR in the maxillary incisors (MI) of patients orthodontically treated with or without premolars extraction....
Periapical radiographs before and after orthodontic treatment of 1,304 MIs from 326 patients (205 women and 121 men) were evaluated for EARR, divided into five groups, according to the chronological p...
Incidence of EARR was higher in MIs of patients treated with maxillary premolar extraction (p < 0.05) in two chronological periods (G00 and G10), also being influenced by orthodontic treatments with l...
Even with the limitations of a retrospective study, the lack of a defined EARR pattern in the MIs at different chronological periods was larger in the experimental group, due to the sum of factors suc...
This case presents clinical techniques and materials that may be applied in the management of internal tunnelling root resorption, a rare condition which has little published literature.A 25-year-old ...
A rare case of extensive multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption with potential genetic predisposition was presented. A heathy 19-year-old Chinese male with no contributory medical or family/soci...
This prospective study was designed to determine the prognosis of second molars with external root resorption (ERR-M2s) caused by embedded third molars (EM3s) following EM3 removal and explore related...
This study consecutively enrolled 58 participants who had asymptomatic second molars with apical external root resorption caused by EM3s. EM3s were extracted, and follow-up examinations were conducted...
A total of 63 ERR-M2s from 58 patients (16 males and 42 females; 19-57 years of age) were evaluated. At the last follow-up, 56 teeth (89%) remained asymptomatic and normal response to heat and cold te...
Asymptomatic ERR-M2s have a high probability of remaining normal pulp without further intervention after EM3 extraction, especially in younger patients. No intervention except follow-up and observatio...
The purpose of this systematic review was to research the difference between root-filled teeth (RFT) and vital pulp teeth (VPT) in orthodontically induced external apical root resorption (EARR) and to...
An electronic search of published studies was conducted before November 2022 in PubMed, Web of Science and other databases. Eligibility criteria were based on the Population, Intervention, Comparison,...
This meta-analysis comprised 8 studies with 10 sets of data. As there was significant heterogeneity among the studies, we employed a random effects model. The funnel plot of the random effects model e...
In the context of concurrent endodontic and orthodontic treatment, priority should be given to endodontic therapy, as it serves as the foundation for subsequent orthodontic procedures. The optimal tim...
This study aimed to assess the quality of various obturation techniques to fill perforation caused by internal root resorption using Micro-computed Tomography....
Cone-beam computed tomography images of a maxillary central incisor tooth with perforating internal resorptive defect were used to create a 3D printed model of the affected tooth. The replicas were di...
The results showed that NeoSEALER Flo groups had significantly the highest volume of voids while GuttaFlow-2 and warm vertical compaction groups had the lowest void volume....
GuttaFlow-2 and warm vertical compaction techniques performed best in filling the internal resorptive defect....
Whether there is a relationship between impaction of the third molars and the onset of crowding remains to be determined, and extraction of third molars after orthodontic treatment is left to the judg...
