Abstract:
External root resorption is physiological or pathological destruction of the hard tissues on the root's external surface caused by various factors. Dental trauma is one of the main causes of pathological external root resorption. The manifestation and prognosis of external root resorption are closely related to the type of dental trauma, the degree of root damage, the stage of root development, and the presence of microbial infection et al. Effective management can prevent the occurrence of external root resorption or stop the progress of root resorption to avoid the early loss of traumatic teeth. This review focuses on the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and management strategies for permanent teeth with external root resorption after dental trauma, in order to provide a reference for the prevention and intervention of external root resorption after trauma in permanent teeth.

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...
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
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...

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...
