The frequency of detection of pathological tooth root resorption according to X-ray studies

The process of resorption of dental hard tissues can be caused by various factors acting separately or simultaneously. External root resorption is caused by an inflammatory disease that causes disease that occurs after a tooth disease, for example, as a result of subluxation or complete dislocation. Pathological resorption is also given special attention with the complications of orthodontic treatment. According to some reports, there are indications that pathological root resorption occurs in 0—90% of individuals who have not undergone any type of dental intervention. Often, the process is asymptomatic and is determined by chance during X-ray diagnostics. Many studies are devoted to the study of this state today, the results of which are often contradictory. The purpose of this study was to identify the frequency of pathological resorption of the tooth root according to X-ray examination. The article presents the results of the analysis of X-ray images for the distribution of various types of resorption of hard tooth tissues.
