Root Resorption in the orthodontic practice: A preventative approach

Leopoldino CAPELOZZA FILHO, Omar Gabriel da SILVA FILHO

On the basis of updated concepts in the literature, the authors of this paper aim to define several procedures that can provide the clinician with a consistent approach in order to: allow for the identification of the patients and the teeth that are predisposed to resorption; the early diagnosis of its occurrence during treatment; the new orthodontic strategies to be followed once resorption is diagnosed and the post-treatment care in patients that have experienced root resorption.
