Root Resorption
Tooth root resorption is when the tissue of a tooth’s root starts breaking down and dissolving, often due to injury or disease. This can lead to tooth instability or loss if not treated
Internal Resorption
Internal root resorption involves the gradual breakdown of the dentin and dentinal tubules within the root, particularly in the middle and apical sections of the canal walls, caused by clastic processes.
External Resorption
External root resorption (ERR) is a pathological condition affecting permanent teeth where the outer surface of the tooth’s root undergoes deterioration. This occurs when the cementoblastic layer or other tissues on the root surface are damaged or eliminated, potentially leading to the tooth’s premature loosening and loss.
Apexification
Apexification is a dental treatment in which calcium hydroxide is used to fill the root canal of a tooth with an open apex, aiming to encourage the growth of a hard tissue barrier at the root’s apical section.
Apexogenesis
For permanent teeth with unfinished roots and pulpal issues, initiating apical closure techniques is essential before starting endodontic treatment. Apexification helps create a calcified barrier in a nonvital tooth with an incomplete root, while apexogenesis is a vital pulp therapy aimed at promoting natural growth and closure of the root end.
Single Tooth Internal Bleaching
Internal tooth bleaching is a method of teeth whitening that operates from the inside, in contrast to conventional techniques, which focus on the external surfaces of the teeth. In comparison, typical whitening involves trays or external treatments, internal bleaching targets the inner parts of the tooth. This approach can lead to a brighter smile for those with healthy teeth.
