Abstract:
Multiple idiopathic cervical root resorptions are a rare finding. The diagnosis is perplexing, and treatment is a challenge. It is a debilitating condition that often leads to extraction of all the involved teeth. Various theories have been given for explanation of the disease entity; however, the etiology remains elusive. This report describes a case of an 18-year-old man with idiopathic cervical resorption that progressed aggressively and involved 20 teeth. The medical history of hepatitis B virus infection made this case unique in the literature. The mechanism of increased osteoclastic activity in patients with hepatitis B virus infection is discussed as a predisposing factor for the development of root resorption.
