Abstract:
The literature regarding external root resorption in relation to orthodontics and its radiographic diagnosis is reviewed, including a summary of the more common radiographic techniques available. Sample cases are presented which demonstrate the need for good radiographic technique and an awareness of the limitations of certain radiographs. A provisional diagnosis of external root resorption may need to be confirmed by further radiographic views where appropriate.
