Root resorption is a well-documented adverse outcome that may occur during orthodontic treatment, where a portion of the tooth root is lost as a result of applied mechanical forces. Although often ...

Panoramic (PAN) x-rays performed poorly in detecting external root resorption of third molars, but cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) did much better in diagnosing this condition. The study was ...

Background: Orthodontic treatment can result in root resorption (RR). Traditional two-dimensional (2D) data exhibit magnification, deformation and positioning problems. Cone beam computed tomography ...

Evidence suggests that orthodontic treatment increased the incidence and severity of apical root resorption. Tooth length and root volume were reduced after orthodontic intervention, but these changes ...
