What is Root Resorption?
Root resorption is a pathological or physiological process in which the structure of a tooth’s root is gradually broken down and absorbed by the body. It can occur internally, affecting the inner pulp and dentin, or externally, impacting the outer root surface. Common causes include trauma, orthodontic treatment, chronic inflammation, or pressure from adjacent teeth or cysts. While mild cases may go unnoticed, severe resorption can compromise tooth stability and lead to mobility or loss. Diagnosis is typically made through radiographic imaging, and treatment varies based on the cause and severity, ranging from monitoring to endodontic therapy or even extraction in advanced cases. Early detection is crucial for preserving the affected tooth and preventing further complications.
