Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Root resorption is a known complication in orthodontics.
  • Impacted teeth can cause adjacent tooth root resorption.

Observation:

  • A rare case of bilateral root resorption affecting upper first permanent molars was observed.
  • The resorption was caused by unerupted, impacted second premolars.

Findings:

  • The impacted premolars induced significant root resorption on the adjacent first molars.
  • Radiographic and clinical examination confirmed the extent of the damage.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and management of impacted teeth.
  • Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for preventing iatrogenic damage in orthodontic and pediatric dentistry.
  • Further research into the mechanisms of tooth resorption caused by impacted teeth is warranted.
