Panoramic (PAN) x-rays performed poorly in detecting external root resorption of third molars, but cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) did much better in diagnosing this condition. The study was ...

Evidence suggests that orthodontic treatment causes an increased incidence and severity of apical root resorption. Tooth length and root volume were reduced after orthodontic intervention. Numerous ...

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) uses a cone-shaped beam rather than a fan beam. The data volume acquired can be reconstructed into radiographic slices. In addition, three dimensional ...

PINK, normally the colour associated with fun and happiness – but not so if it is to do with your teeth: a tooth can actually turn pink in colour, which is a sign that that it's in quite bad twist.

Scouring is harmful to the fragile root and should be avoided. Immersing the tooth in a doxycycline solution, if available, may reduce the rate of external root resorption, the primary reason for ...
