INTRODUCTION Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a successful treatment procedure of periodontal reconstructive surgery. Adverse effects can be observed after GTR procedure, but external root resorption is rarely reported at clinical studies. Invasive cervical resorption is a clinical term used to describe a relatively uncommon, insidious, and often aggressive form of external root resorption. ...

Bisphosphonates are widely used anti-osteoporotic drugs targeting osteoclasts. They strongly inhibit bone resorption, but also reduce formation. This reduced formation is commonly ascribed to the mechanism maintaining resorption/formation balance during remodeling. The present study provides evidence for an additional where bisphosphonates actually impair onset of after resorption. based on mor...

ABSTRACT Repeated sagittal split osteotomy might impose an increased risk for damage of the inferior alveolar nerve. Another contemporary orthognathic issue is surgical management malocclusion following condylar resorption. Here we describe a modified C-osteotomy technique as proposed solution these difficulties in surgery. The induce less stress on condyles reducing relapse subsequent to resor...

When a tooth is avulsed and replanted following traumatic dental injury, complications such as replacement and inflammatory resorption may occur. Ultimately, resorption may result in loss of the tooth. This case report describes a traumatic injury to a permanent tooth resulting in complete root resorption within a short period, which required surgery. In the present case, improper treatment mea...

Multiple idiopathic external root resorption is a rare pathological condition usually detected as an incidental radiographic finding. External root resorption of permanent teeth is a multifactorial process related to several local and systemic factors. If an etiological factor cannot be identified for root resorption, the term "idiopathic" is applied. This report presents a case of multiple idi...

AIM To evaluate the presence of root resorption in the lateral incisor after active orthodontic treatment in the early mixed dentition. METHODS Twenty-six children treated at the Children's Clinic of the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario were examined radiographically for lateral incisors root resorption before and after early active treatment to a...

Treating pathological defects that are caused by resorption in teeth can be challenging. The task is complicated further if the resorption extends beyond the restrains of the root. The aim of this report is to describe a case of extensive internal tunneling resorption (ITR) associated with invasive cervical resorption (ICR) in a maxillary right lateral incisor and its nonsurgical treatment. A 2...

INTRODUCTION Induced dental root resorption is a common side effect of orthodontic treatment. It is an unpredictable phenomenon, and its etiology is unknown. Odontoclasts responsible for the resorption of the dental tissues--ie, cementum and dentin--share many cytochemical and morphological characteristics with osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone resorption. The aim of this study was to...

The aim of this study was to analyse serum IgG levels and salivary secretory IgA (sIgA) levels in human dentine extract (HDE) before (T0) and 6 months after (T6) orthodontic treatment and to correlate anti-HDE autoantibodies to root resorption. Fifty orthodontic patients were selected, 19 males (15.6 ± 8.5 years) and 31 females (21.4 ± 11.2 years), 19 in the mixed dentition (10.3 ± 1.9 years) a...
