The aim of this case report was to present management of a case of multiple apical root resorptions due to orthodontic treatment in a 27-year-old adult female using implant supported crowns. External root resorption of the permanent teeth is a multi-factorial process. Well recognized causes of apical root resorption in permanent teeth include orthodontic therapy, trauma, periapical or periodont...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has shown potential as a repair material for perforations. This clinical case demonstrates that when MTA was used as a repair material for root perforation due to invasive cervical resorption, the tooth was well in function for 27 months. Both clinical and radiographic follow-up showed a stable condition without any probing defect, ongoing root resorption, or ap...

vital pulp therapy (vpt) of permanent mature teeth is continuously ascertaining to be a more reliable endodontic treatment. the purpose of this case report was to describe successful vpt of a mature mandibular left first molar with concurrent hyperplastic pulpitis, internal root resorption and periradicular periodontitis in a 35-year-old male patient. after complete caries removal and access ca...

Background: Intentional replantation of periodontally involved teeth has been reported to result in unfavorable healing like root resorption and ankylosis. However, many recent clinical reports using enamel matrix derivative (EMD) showed a good outcome based on clinical and radiographic examination. However, histological findings are lacking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate healing af...

External apical root resorption is a common phenomenon associated with orthodontic treatment. The factors relevant to root resorption can be divided into biological and mechanical factors. Some mechanical and biological factors might be associated with an increased or decreased risk of root resorption during orthodontic treatment. For mechanical factors, the extensive tooth movement, root torqu...
