Root resorption is a clinical condition whereby the mineralized tissues of the root are lost, mainly as an immunological response due to various factors. Root resorption has been a perplexing clinical condition for dental practitioners as it has a broad range of clinical manifestation with varied severity and also due to the associated diagnostic dilemma. Early detection is essential for successful management and outcome of root resorption. Root resorptions have several local and systemic predisposing factors. Hence, patients with a history of one or more predisposing factors should be monitored closely for initial signs of root resorption. Cone beam computed tomography appears to be a promising diagnostic tool for confirming the presence, appreciating the true nature, and managing the internal and external root resorptions. In addition to the 2-D slices, 3-D reconstruction enables further assessment of the area of interest which enables the right treatment modality for the real pathology. Thorough knowledge regarding the pathogenesis and various factors that can cause root resorption is essential for a predictive therapeutic management as is given in this overview. The book describes different types of root resorption, the etiopathogenesis and management strategies for each type of root resorption.

This book discusses in detail the various aspects of external root resorption such as the various classifications and clinical features along with the different treatment modalities.External root resorption is often an uncommon and troublesome dental condition in which the body's own cells eat away and dissolve tooth structure.External resorption, as the name implies, starts at the outermost surface - where your tooth's root connects to your jawbone through the ligament that holds it within its socket. This process is destructive in nature and can lead to the loss of your tooth without treatment. In some cases no treatment is possible and tooth loss is inevitable.

Tooth resorption is a perplexing problem for all dental practitioners. The etiologic factors are vague, diagnoses are educated guesses, and often the chosen treatment does not prevent the rapid disappearance of the calcified dental tissues. Although the occurrence of resorption cannot always be predicted, resorption can be identified radiographically. However, even this diagnostic tool has limitations, especially with respect to resorption on the buccal and lingual surfaces. The diagnostic dilemma is further complicated by the need to differentiate between internal from external resorption. The consequences of root resorption range from slight tooth mobility due to small amounts of root loss to complete tooth loss from excessive amounts of resorption. Radiographically, the resorption may appear as either an apical root blunting, lateral root resorption or in rare cases excessive root loss.
