Root Resorption: Complications

The most important diseases or complications that may be contributed to by root resorption:

Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).

Mouth, esophagus (food pipe), stomach, and intestines (K00-K67; K90-K93).

  • Ankylosis (“fusion of the teeth with the jawbone“), dentoalveolar.
  • Fistula formation
  • Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums)
  • Infraocclusion (in ankylosis growing patients).
  • Bone resorption
  • Periodontitis (inflammation of the periodontium).
  • Pulpitis (inflammation of the dental nerve)
  • Recurrence (recurrence of the disease)
  • Spontaneous fracture (spontaneous fracture) of the root
  • Root perforation
  • Tooth fracture (tooth collapse, incomplete fracture).
  • Tooth loss

Further

  • Surgical intervention
    • Tooth extraction (tooth removal)
    • Periodontal surgery (surgical procedures on the periodontium/dental periodontium).
