Summary

Root resorption is an unavoidable consequence of orthodontic tooth movement. While the cellular process is understood, predicting its extent and individual susceptibility remains a challenge in orthodontics.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) is a known complication of orthodontic treatment.
  • It results from the cellular processes initiated by orthodontic force application.
  • While predictable in initiation, the outcome and extent of OIIRR are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the basic science and clinical aspects of OIIRR.
  • To provide a comprehensive understanding of root resorption in orthodontics.
  • To highlight the current limitations in predicting OIIRR.

Main Methods:

  • This review synthesizes current knowledge on OIIRR.
  • It is divided into two parts: basic sciences and clinical aspects.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Builds upon previously published work on the subject.

    • Main Results:

    • OIIRR is an inherent, albeit rarely serious, adverse effect of orthodontic treatment.
    • The cellular mechanisms of OIIRR are initiated by force application.
    • Factors influencing OIIRR severity include cell aggressiveness and tissue vulnerability, with individual susceptibility being poorly understood.

    Conclusions:

    • Predicting the incidence and severity of OIIRR remains challenging due to individual variations.
    • Further understanding of the factors influencing OIIRR is needed.
    • This review aims to consolidate knowledge on OIIRR for clinicians and researchers.
