External apical root resorption is an adverse effect of orthodontic treatment. It reduces the length of root and breaks the integrity of teeth and dental arch. Orthodontics is the only dental specialty that clinically uses the inflammatory process to correct the mal-aligned teeth. Hence, it is necessary to know the risk factors of root resorption and do everything to reduce the rate of root res...

abstract : inflammatory external root resorption (ierr) is a pathological phenomenon of microbial origin. this stu dy reports a case of external apical inflammatory root resorption of maxillary incisors associated with periradicular lesions in a 22 year old female, which was successfully treated by one-visit root canal therapy (rct). radiographic investigation revealed periapical radiolucencies...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of root resorption during orthodontic treatment of patients with aplasia, and to analyse the relative importance of some anamnestic and treatment variables. The subjects comprised 68 orthodontically treated patients with 1-16 congenitally missing teeth. The age of the patients was 11-20 years (mean 15 years). All patients were treated with fixed ed...

Among a variety of biomaterials that have been reported to be ideal for dental repair, calcium hydroxide has been shown to have excellent long-term biocompatibility in the pulp and periapical areas. Here we report an alternative method employing calcium hydroxide for periapical surgery in a patient who developed internal apical resorption after traumatic injury, which negatively affected the qu...

objective: intrusion as a type of tooth movement is managed by different mechanotherapies during various treatment stages. the morphology of the apical third of the teeth to be intruded plays an important role in the risk of root resorption due to the raise of stresses. the main goal of this study was to compare various types of apical third of the teeth while loaded by an intrusive force. mate...

Lymphangiomatosis with Gorham-Stout syndrome is a rare disease involving two pathological processes: Infiltration of nonmalignant, aberrant lymphatic vessels into soft and hard tissues and bone lysis. This report will describe a patient suffering from Lymphangiomatosis with external dental cervical resorption that mimics caries lesions. The rate of resorption was found to be related to disease ...

Introduction: With increase in number of adult orthodontic patients, the orthodontic- endodontic related patients are also expected to rise. There clinical dilemma where both specialties need robust guideline for decision making. The effect force is expressed different way and teeth which be understood by clinicians. On contrary, tooth movement endodontically involved demands careful evaluation...
