How Root Resorption can help

Addressing root resorption offers a multitude of benefits for patients seeking to preserve their natural dentition and oral health. Some of the key advantages of early detection and intervention include:

Preservation of Tooth Structure: By identifying and addressing root resorption in its early stages, we can help preserve the structural integrity of the affected tooth and prevent further loss of root tissue.

Prevention of Complications: Left untreated, root resorption can lead to significant complications such as tooth loss, infections, and damage to adjacent teeth or supporting structures. Early intervention can help mitigate these risks and preserve the overall health and function of the dentition.

Improved Aesthetic Appearance: Root resorption can cause changes in the appearance of the affected tooth, including discoloration, mobility, or changes in shape. Addressing root resorption can help restore the natural appearance of the tooth and enhance the overall aesthetics of the smile.

What is Root Resorption?

Understanding Root Resorption

Root resorption is a complex dental condition characterized by the gradual loss or breakdown of the tooth's root structure. This process can occur as a result of various factors, including trauma, infection, orthodontic treatment, or certain systemic conditions. Root resorption can manifest in different forms, including internal resorption, external resorption, or cervical resorption, each with its own unique characteristics and implications.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

At Clear Endodontics, our experienced team of endodontists employs advanced diagnostic tools and imaging techniques to accurately diagnose and evaluate root resorption. This typically involves a comprehensive examination of the affected tooth, including digital radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and clinical assessments. These evaluations help us determine the extent and severity of the resorption and formulate an appropriate treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

Treatment Options

The treatment approach for root resorption may vary depending on the type, severity, and location of the resorption. In cases of mild or moderate resorption, conservative management strategies such as monitoring, oral hygiene measures, and periodic follow-up appointments may be recommended to prevent further progression. However, in more advanced cases or those associated with significant symptoms or complications, more invasive interventions may be necessary.
