The indications for impacted third molar extraction include the prevention of dental reabsorption on the adjacent tooth. Resorption can be classifi ed as physiological (when deciduous teeth are exfoliated) or pathological (when caused by injury or irritation to the periodontal ligament). Many causes can trigger external root resorption (ERR), the most common cause of which is orthodontic forces...

In this case report, a mature third mandibular molar was transplanted in the socket of a hopeless first mandibular molar of the same quadrant. A 32-year-old woman was diagnosed with strip perforation of her left first lower molar. Orthograde and retrograde treatments were unsuccessful. The tooth was extracted and replaced by the third molar of the same quadrant. Following transplantation, the t...

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...

objective: orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (oiirr) is an undesirable sequel of tooth movement after sterile necrosis that takes place in periodontal ligament due to blockage of blood vessels following exertion of orthodontic force. this study sought to assess the effect of an angiogenic cytokine on oiirr in rat model. materials and methods: in this experimental animal study...

The consequences of traumatic injuries are pulp necrosis, periapical inflammation, and possible external cervical resorption (ECR). concomitant cessation root maturation dentinogenesis in premature teeth result a fragile tooth. Revascularization the might be an alternative treatment option. A 12-year-old patient was referred for retreatment chronic apical periodontitis with acute exacerbation a...

Invasive cervical resorption is a relatively uncommon form of external root resorption. It is characterized by invasion of cervical region of the root by fibrovascular tissue derived from the periodontal ligament. This case presents an invasive cervical resorption occurring in maxillary lateral incisor, following damage in cervical cementum from avulsion and intracoronal bleaching procedure. Fl...

Implant insertion is an alternative to classical treatment with bridges after tooth extraction or traumatic tooth loss in the anterior and premolar region of the upper and lower jaw. Nevertheless both types of prosthetic treatment inhere major gingival aesthetic pitfalls by physiological vertical and horizontal resorption. Aim of the study was to investigate if the immediate insertion of root a...
