Introduction: Root resorption was compared between bone-borne and tooth tissue-borne rapid maxillary expansion patients with the use of microtomography.
Methods: The study included 20 patients (ages 11-16 years) requiring fixed orthodontic treatment who underwent extraction of their first premolars after rapid maxillary expansion with the use of modified appliances. One side of the appliance covered the teeth with acrylic, while the other side was fixed to the palatal bone by means of a miniscrew. After 3 months' retention, the appliance was removed and teeth were extracted and examined with the use of microtomography.
Results: When the apical, middle, and cervical thirds, as well as the buccal and lingual sides, were compared, the volume loss was significantly higher in the tooth tissue-borne group than in the bone-borne group (P <0.01). The least volume loss occurred on the cervical third lingual surface in the tooth tissue-borne group and on the middle third buccal surface in the bone-borne group. In the former group, least resorption occurred on the cervical third and highest resorption on the buccal side. In the latter group, surfaces showed no significant changes.
Conclusions: More root resorption occurred in the tooth tissue-borne group, mostly in the apical and middle thirds. The amount of resorption on the buccal surface was higher than that on the lingual surface.

Background: Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH) is a painful disorder primarily affecting the incisor teeth of horses over 15 years of age. Clinical signs of the disease include prehension problems, halitosis and in severe cases weight loss. The disease predominately affects the reserve crown and presents as a loss of dental tissue and excessive build-up of cementum.

Background: The aim was to evaluate the stresses in teeth, with external root resorption (ERR) restored with different materials using finite element analysis (FEA).
Methods: In this study, a Micro-CT scan was conducted on a prepared maxillary central tooth. DICOM-compatible images obtained from the sections were converted into stereolithography format using Ctan software.

Background: The current study attempts to assess the impact of third molar impaction on external root resorption (ERR) of the adjacent second molars. We aimed to determine the prevalence, severity, and associated factors with ERR in a sample of panoramic radiographs.
Material And Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out at teaching hospital.

In dental practice, there are two major diseases: dental caries and periodontal disease. Although dental treatment techniques have advanced along with advances in dental materials, some diseases such as root surface caries and horizontal bone resorption have not yet achieved satisfactory treatment results. Since these diseases are infections caused by oral bacteria, we believe that materials with long-lasting antimicrobial properties would help control these diseases.

Internal root resorption (IRR) is a complex and often asymptomatic dental condition that can severely compromise tooth vitality and function. This case report presents the successful management of a perforated large IRR lesion in a 49-year-old female using an ultraconservative approach involving partial pulpectomy (PP) using calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. The patient, initially presenting with an asymptomatic resorptive lesion in her left first premolar, underwent ultraconservative PP following diagnosis via conventional radiography and cone beam computed tomography.
