Clinical Case Reports
|March 30, 2023
Summary
Orthodontic treatment can cause external apical root resorption, leading to pulpitis. Early detection and collaboration between orthodontists and endodontists ensure successful outcomes and prevent further root damage.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Endodontics
Background:
- External apical root resorption (EARR) is a potential complication during orthodontic treatment.
- Pulpitis, inflammation of the dental pulp, can occur concurrently with EARR.
Observation:
- A case report details a 21-year-old patient experiencing EARR of maxillary central incisors with pulpitis during orthodontic movement.
- The patient required coordinated care from both orthodontic and endodontic specialists.
Findings:
- Active collaboration between orthodontists and endodontists led to a satisfactory treatment outcome.
- This multidisciplinary approach successfully prevented further progression of apical root resorption.
Implications:
- Orthodontists need comprehensive training and knowledge to mitigate EARR risks.
- Precise and simplified orthodontic mechanics are crucial for preventing EARR.
- Understanding the optimal timing for endodontic intervention during orthodontic treatment is essential when EARR is present.

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...

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...
