I-01 Tooth Resorption: Causes Symptoms, and Treatment
CE Hours: 1.0
Description: Root resorption is a common sequelae after traumatic injuries to the periodontal ligament and/or dental pulp. The course of root resorption involves an elaborate interaction among inflammatory cells and mediators, resorbing 'clastic' cells, and hard tissue structures. Types of tooth resorption include internal and external resorption. Internal resorption has been categorized into internal replacement and internal inflammatory resorption. External resorption has been classified into four categories by its clinical and histologic manifestations: external surface, external inflammatory, replacement and ankylosis. This presentation will address the etiology, diagnosis and clinical management of root resorption.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the etiology and pathogenesis of the different types of root resorption.
- Develop a comprehensive treatment approach for teeth with root resorption.
- Identify the challenges involved when a tooth becomes ankylosed in the growing child.
