Orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption: apical and cervical complications

摘要: External root resorption is a feared complication during orthodontic procedures. It can affect both the apex, but also cervical zone of roots subjected to forces for tooth movement and compromise future involved teeth. The patient must be informed about risks as consequence treatment. detection resorptions occur and/or after active phase Knowledge clinical situations predisposing essential. data are still insufficient avoid them completely. Early precise essential, cone beam with its high resolution 3D images, compensate diagnostic inaccuracy digital panoramic periapical films. There treatment solutions their prognosis correlated early detection. Apical resorptions, generally not infected, mostly stopped by discontinuing forces. Cervical bacterial component, will require surgical intervention curettage restorative build-up resorbed area. Current research, particularly in genetics, developmental stage. In future, conclusions this research allow orthodontists more precisely target at risk patients so these complications.
