Details

Description:

Root resorption has been historically regarded as an exotic, rare presentation in dental practice. It is not, and occurs quite frequently. Four main theories on pathogenesis have been proposed. Dr. Pannkuk will discuss these theories and the confusion associated with different resorption descriptors: internal, external, inflammatory, replacement, and extracanal invasive types. Case histories with long term recalls monitored up to 18 years will be shown. Management strategies, CBCT mapping and option assessment will be highlighted with a special emphasis on the differences between root repair materials and research. Extensive documentation with clinical microphotos, CT imagining, and conventional radiography will be demonstrated.
