45
Q

What is progressive external resorption without persistent inflammation also known as?

A

Replacement resoprtion

46
Q

In which cases would you more commonly see ER without inflam/RR?

A

Usually luxation injury e.g avulsion
When damage to more than 20% of cementum occurred

47
Q

In RR or ER without inflammation what happens to the sites where resorption taking place?

A

Osteoclasts resorb bone and denuded root surface
Osteoblasts deposit bone and dentine in areas of resorption

48
Q

How does RR present clinically?

A

High pitched sound when tapped
often asymptomatic
No physiological tooth movement

49
Q

In a child how may RR present clinically as the child ages?

A

Infraocclusion

50
Q

How does RR appear radiographically?

A

No PDL space ad mottling effect between bone and cementum

51
Q

How do you manage RR following avulsion?

A

When teeth are avulsed RCT them within 7-14 days

52
Q

Progressive inflammatory ER can be sustained by what?

A

Root canal infection
Pressure
SG plaque
Foreign body

53
Q

What is the aetiology begin progressive ER sustained by inflammation?

A
  1. Root canal infection causes inflammation within PDL
  2. Apical CDJ is the and risk of resorption
  3. Necrotic bacterial products diffuse through dentinal tubules fuelling resorption
54
Q

How does inflammatory Progressive ER present caused by root canal infection present clinically?

A

CAP
Negative pulp
May have mobility

55
Q

how does inflammatory Progressive ER caused by root canal infection present radiographically?

A

Irregular outline
Moves in same direction as parallax
Root canal outline remains intact

56
Q

How does inflammatory Progressive ER present caused by pressure present clinically?

A

Shortened roots
Normal PDL space
Mobile tooth
Vital pulp

57
Q

How do you manage inflammatory Progressive ER present caused root canal infection?

A

RCT and may require long term CaOH dressing

58
Q

how do you manage inflammatory Progressive ER present caused by pressure?

A

Removal of pressure source

59
Q

How does inflammatory Progressive ER present caused by foreign body and SG plaque develop?

A

removal of cementum following root planing allows dentinoclasts to adhere to root surface

60
Q

How does inflammatory Progressive ER present caused by foreign body/SG plaque present clinically?

A

Asymp initially but may develop into pulpitis
Non carious cavity may be probed subgingivally
MAY see pink spot if enamel undermined

61
Q

How do you manage inflammatory Progressive ER present caused foreign body/SG plaque?

A

Surgical exposure
Remove resorptive lesion
restore with defect with GIC
MAY req RCT

62
Q

Periradicualr EIRR caused by trauma is caused by what?

A

intra canal bacteria and their products

63
Q

Why are younger teeth at greater risk of Periradicualr EIRR?

A

Wider tubules and thinner dentinal walls so easier for bacterial products to diffuse through

64
Q

Name three systemic diseases associated with progressive RR

A

Herpes Zoster
Hypoparathyroidism
Radiotherapy

65
Q

How does Herpes Zoster cause progressive RR

A

Internal resorption
Damage to nerve endings in pulp can lead to pulpitis

66
Q

How does hypoparathyroidism cause progressive EIRR?

A

External
Hypomineralised dentine at greater risk of resorption

67
Q

What is invasive/external cervical resorption? (ICR)

A

Form of external resorption
ONLY HAPPENS CERVICALLY

Q

How does external cervical resorption develop?

A

damage to PDL + sub epithelial cementum

69
Q

Which teeth are most commonly effected by external /invasive cervical resorption?

A

Mainly seen in max incisors
Mainly due to highest risk of trauma and damage from parafunctional habits

70
