Atypical root resorption following root fractures in primary teeth

Quintessence Int. 2017;48(10):793-797. doi: 10.3290/j.qi.a39078.

Abstract

Atypical root resorption (ARR) is the condition of a superficial and circumferential resorption process along the lateral and/or apical root surface of a primary maxillary incisor. This case series demonstrates longitudinal observations of six patients with atypical root resorption following root-fractured primary incisors. The characteristics of atypical root resorption were different from pathologic root resorption.
