Idiopathic external apical root resorption is rare. This study reports a severe case where root resorption began years earlier, continued for a period, and then stopped on its own without tooth loss.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Pathology

Background:

  • Idiopathic external apical root resorption (IEARR) is an uncommon dental condition.
  • Understanding its etiology and progression is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • A case of severe IEARR is presented, with no identifiable systemic, dental, or familial causes.
  • Radiographic evidence documented the onset and spontaneous termination of root resorption over time.

Findings:

  • The observed IEARR initiated on roots of normal length, progressing over a defined period.
  • Resorption ceased spontaneously before significant tooth damage or pulp compromise occurred.

Implications:

  • The unknown pathogenesis of IEARR limits current treatment options.

  • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms driving IEARR and develop targeted therapies.
