The Aim Of The Study:
Was to compare the efficacy of various treatment options for external inflammatory root resorption according to literature data.
Materials And Methods:
Literature was searched in electronic databases «eLibrary» and «PubMed» for key words «external inflammatory resorption treatment», «external inflammatory resorption management». Inclusion criteria comprised publications in Russian or English, clinical and experimental studies, full description of treatment protocol and obtained results. Studies with no full text, describing root resorption of orthodontic origin, clinical cases and clinical case series were excluded from the study.
Results:
The problem of external inflammatory root resorption is poorly described in the Russian scientific literature. There are no registered protocols for its prevention and treatment or therapeutic agents with proved efficacy available in Russia. The only accessible approach for external inflammatory root resorption remains timely pulp extirpation after dental trauma which importance is underlined by all authors involved in the field of dental trauma studies. MTA and calcium hydroxide being popular as intracanal medications still have significant inconveniences as they potentially provoke root dentine fractures or replacement resorption.
Conclusion:
There is a need for elaboration and implementation of new prevention and treatment options for external inflammatory root resorption after dental trauma.
