Unraveling the Etiology and Pathogenesis of Multiple Cervical Root Resorption – A Scoping Review
CE Hours: 1.0
Description: Multiple Cervical Root Resorption (MCRR) is a rare condition characterized by the progressive destruction of the cervical region of multiple tooth roots, leading to significant tooth loss. The etiology and pathogenesis of MCRR remain poorly understood. Existing knowledge is largely derived from case reports/series. A comprehensive review of literature is crucial to identify potential systemic and dental factors that contribute to the development and progression of MCRR.
At the conclusion of this article, the reader will be able to:
- Describe the systemic diseases, genetic mutations, and medications that have been implicated in multiple cervical root resorption.
- Discuss the common pathogenic pathways shared by multiple cervical root resorption and conditions affecting the skeletal system.
- Describe the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and management of multiple cervical root resorption.
