DENTAL ROOT RESORPTION. ANALYSIS OF DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT ALGORITHMS USED IN PRACTICE

Resorption of the root of the tooth is a process in which the hard tissues of the tooth and the surrounding bone are destroyed. The incidence of internal resorption is unknown, because the results may vary significantly when different diagnostic methods are used. Scientific publications focus on external resorption, but internal resorption is also a problem for the practitioner. This article describes the results of an anonymous questionnaire of doctors with the purpose of analyzing knowledge about root resorption and internal resorption in particular.
