48
Q

Surface resorption

A

Superficial resorption cavities

Mainly in cementum

Complete repair of PDL

49
Q

Replacement resorption

A

Direct union of bone and root

Resorption of root - replacement with bone

Direct result of loss of vital PDL

50
Q

Inflammatory resorption

A

Resorption of cementum and dentin

Inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament

Surface resorption of cementum exposing dentinal tubules

Pulp necrosis

Toxic products from the pulp provoke an inflammatory response in the PDL
