Objective:
This clinically oriented article aims to describe specific situations of root resorption, whether suspected or confirmed, and to provide a focused analysis.
Materials And Method:
Eight clinical cases are presented in different contexts: presence of presumptive signs of root resorption, pre-existing resorption prior to treatment, and resorption occurring during treatment, among others.
Discussion:
The integration of these resorptions when developing the treatment plan and the medico-legal aspect associated with this issue must be taken into consideration. Although this article does not seek to introduce new data on a topic that has already been widely studied, it offers a distinctive clinical perspective through specific comments and considerations illustrated by well-defined clinical cases.
Conclusion:
These insights should enable practitioners to be better prepared to manage root resorption, including its medico-legal aspects.
