What is Management of Root Resorption in Dentistry about?

## Management of root resorption in dentistry Root resorption is a pathological process that mainly leads to progressive tooth destruction, particularly the loss of root dentine and cement. This process may occur on the inner or outer surface of the root. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of root resorption (RR) are not clear. However, the key RR factors that can affect tooth structure are trauma, pulp infection, tooth bleaching, and orthodontic therapy. Regardless of its localization, RR is irreversible and can lead to discomfort for the patient, tooth discoloration, tooth mobility, and other conditions. In this respect, accurate diagnosis and treatment of RR is often a challenge for clinicians. 1 This brief letter focuses on root resorption in dentistry. Trauma and pulp necrosis are major factors causing internal root resorption (IRR). In this context, a study reported cervical IRR in tooth No. 41 in a 36-year-old woman. The study recommended the following procedures for a successful outcome: 1) rinsing the canal with 2.6% NaOCl, 2) dressing the canal with Ca(OH)2, 3) removing Ca(OH)2 after 3 weeks through ultrasonic activity, and 4) filling the canal with gutta-percha and Endo
