Description: Managing root resorption can be challenging as it involves the management of pulpal, periapical, and periodontal tissues. The clinician must consider long-term vs. short-term outcomes, function, and esthetics. Maintaining a balance between conservative and aggressive approaches renders the decision-making process complicated. In this presentation, biological and clinical aspects of different types of resorption will be explored, with a focus on External Invasive Resorption. Various approaches to the treatment of root resorption will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:  

• Identify common types of root resorption.
• List clinical and pathobiological features for each type of resorption.
• Describe various treatment modalities for External Invasive Resorption.
