Atypical root resorption following root fractures in primary teeth
Quintessence International (Berlin, Germany : 1985)
|October 10, 2017
Summary
Atypical root resorption (ARR) in primary incisors can occur after root fractures. Longitudinal observations showed ARR differs from typical pathologic root resorption.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Endodontics
Background:
- Atypical root resorption (ARR) affects primary maxillary incisors.
- It presents as superficial, circumferential resorption on root surfaces.
- ARR is distinct from pathologic root resorption.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present longitudinal observations of atypical root resorption.
- To analyze cases of ARR following root fractures in primary incisors.
- To differentiate ARR characteristics from pathologic resorption.
Main Methods:
- Case series design.
- Longitudinal observation of six patients.
- Analysis of root-fractured primary incisors with subsequent ARR.
Main Results:
- Six patients with atypical root resorption were observed.
- ARR occurred following root fractures of primary incisors.
- Observed characteristics of ARR were distinct from pathologic resorption.
Conclusions:
- Atypical root resorption is a distinct entity.
- Root fractures in primary incisors can precede ARR.
- Further research is needed to fully understand ARR.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
5.8K
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

01:40Bone Remodeling
40.6K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

01:31Osteoclasts in Bone Remodeling
4.4K
Osteoclasts are cells responsible for bone resorption and remodeling. They originate from hematopoietic progenitor cells present in the bone marrow. Numerous progenitor cells fuse to form multinucleated cells, each with 10-20 nuclei. A single osteoclast has a diameter of 150 to 200 µM. These cells have ruffled borders that break down the underlying bone tissue and release minerals such as calcium into the blood in bone resorption. Osteoclasts cling to bones with their ruffled edges during...
