Summary
Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) most commonly affects maxillary anterior teeth in Taiwanese adults, often without typical symptoms. Predisposing factors include trauma, periodontal, and orthodontic treatments, highlighting the need for radiographic diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral Pathology
Background:
- Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is a rare dental condition.
- Understanding its distribution and causes is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the distribution, predisposing factors, and clinical characteristics of invasive cervical resorption (ICR).
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 63 ICR cases from 2009-2019.
- Review of clinical records and radiographs.
- Descriptive and univariate analysis, including Fisher exact test.
Main Results:
- Maxillary anterior teeth (47.62%) were most affected, followed by premolars (20.63%).
- Predisposing factors included dental trauma (33.33%), periodontal treatment (26.98%), and orthodontic treatment (15.87%).
- Most affected teeth lacked pain, abscesses, or periapical lesions; pulp vitality was common (73.02%).
Conclusions:
- ICR affects all ages and sexes, with a predilection for maxillary anterior teeth in Taiwanese patients.
- Trauma, periodontal, and orthodontic treatments are significant risk factors.
- Early diagnosis relies on radiographic examination, as clinical signs are often absent until advanced stages.

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

Invadosome is a broad category of cell surface structures with proteolytic activity that degrades the extracellular matrix (ECM). Invadosomes are present in normal cell types, including macrophages, endothelial cells, and neurons, as well as tumor cells. Although the macrophage podosomes and tumor cell invadopodia are classified as invadosomes, they have different structures, molecular pathways, and functions. Podosomes are short structures that last for a few minutes. However,...
