S-5 Navigating the Complexities of Cervical Root Resorption: From Diagnosis to Management
CE Hours: 1.25
Description: Managing cervical root resorption is anything but straightforward. It encompasses a wide spectrum of approaches, from minimal intervention to extensive surgical repair or even tooth extraction. The decision-making process is highly multifactorial, requiring careful consideration of, the stage of resorption, the location and extent of the defect, Tooth position and accessibility, as well as the patient’s age, overall oral health, and preferences. This presentation aims to provide a comprehensive review of the biological processes underlying root resorption, diagnostic strategies for accurate staging, and clinical approaches to improve prognosis and outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the biological mechanisms controlling the progression and healing of cervical root resorption.
- Identify the key elements necessary for predictable and successful surgical interventions.
- Review the latest evidence-based insights into prognostic factors and clinical outcomes for informed treatment planning.
