Root resorption Flashcards
resorption definition
a condition associated with either physiologic or a pathologic process resulting in a loss of dentin , cementum, and /or bone
physiologic resorption
like primary teeth loss
resorption in permanent teeth is usually?
pathologic
- internal or external
which resopriton is more prevelant?
external
definition of internal resoprtion
a pathologic process initiated within the pulp space with loss of dentin and possinle invasion of the cementum
may or may not perforate to the external root surface
etiology of internal root resoprtion
- truama
- infected coronal pulp
- metaplastic tissue - tissue capable of resoprtion from somewhere else comes here?
- extreme hear during cutting
prerequisite for internal resoprtion
loss or alteration of the odontoblastic layer and predentin
loss of what layer with internal resoprtion
odontoblastic layer
histology of intenral resorption
- granulation tissue with multi-nucleated giant cells
- loss of odontoblastic layer
- nectrotic pulp coronal to granulation tissue
- bacteria in dentinal tubules
- no adjacent bone resorption
cells you will see in resorptino
multi-nucleated giant cells
external surface of bone in internal resoprtion ***
in tact!!
- not the case all the time in external
clinical manifestations of internal resoprtion
- asympotomatic
- discovered in routine radiographs
- vital pulp
- pink tooth
internal resoprtion radiographic feature
fairly uniform radiolucent enlargment of the pulp canal
internal resorption treatment
perform root canal therapy as soon as possible
internal resoprtion prognosis
good!
but decreases to fair or poor f perforated externally
definition of external resorption
resorption initiated in the periodontium and initially affecting the external surfaces of the tooth
surface resorption
a PHYSIOLOGIC process causing small superficial defects in the cementum and underlying dentin that undergo REPAIR by deposition of new cementum
root surface undergoes small area of minimla loss of cemntum and dentin – spontaneous repaire usually
classification of external resoprtion
- surface
- replacement
- inflammatory
