introduction: external root resorption is a clinical problem that often cannot be detected clinically. thus, radiography plays a crucial role in its diagnosis. however, optimal radiographic quality with minimal radiation exposure {2.1 [en] verify english word/phrase choice} is an important factor in selecting the appropriate radiographic technique. the aim of this study was the comparison of ac...

The purpose of the study was to compare the incidence and severity of apical root resorption in patients treated with different orthodontic appliances and to evaluate the effect of treatment duration on the degree of apical root resorption. A further aim was to analyse the degree of apical root resorption in different tooth groups in patients presenting with root resorption. The sample consiste...

background and aims. early diagnosis of external root resorption is important for accurate treatment. the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of a charge-coupled device (ccd) sensor and a photostimulable phosphor (psp) plate receptor in the diagnosis of artificial external root resorption. materials and methods. in this diagnostic in-vitro study, 40 maxillary incisors were mounted...

conclusion considering the similar diagnostic efficacy of all voxel sizes, 300 µm voxel size can be used with adequate efficacy for detection of external root resorption defects with minimal patient radiation dose and the shortest scanning time. background selecting a voxel size that yields minimal radiation dose with no significant compromise of the diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed to...

BACKGROUND Dynamic interspinous stabilization devices generally provide satisfactory results, but can result in recurrent lumbar disc herniation, spinous process fracture, or bone resorption of the spinous process. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the Wallis dynamic stabilization device is associated with bone resorption. METHODS Patients who underwent single-segment posterior ...

UNLABELLED THE MAIN OBJECTIVE of the study was to determine the extent of external apical root resorption at the end of orthodontic treatment and to identify the possible pre-treatment and treatment factors that would allow to predict the possible incidence of root resorption before the start of treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Panoramic radiographs of 75 patients that had been treated with fu...

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...
