Abstract
Resorption of permanent dentition is a pathological process and requires clinical attention. Root resorption can be further categorized by site (internal root resorption and external root resorption), as well as etiology and pathogenesis (inflammatory resorption and replacement resorption). Long lasting pulpal irritation is associated with internal root resorption, while the occurrence of external root resorption is commonly after traumatic injury, orthodontic treatment, and endodontic infection. In this chapter, the clinical appearances, radiographic characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of internal and external root resorptions are described.
