Many dentists find it very challenging to differentiate between the different types of tooth resorption, which leads to uncertainty regarding the treatment required. There are 11 different types of resorption and each type requires different management so it is essential to know which type is present. However, historically, there has been conflicting and confusing terminology used to classify and diagnose tooth resorption. During this lecture, a clinical classification will be presented with justification for the use of specific terminology. Each of the 11 types of resorption will be described to enable easy diagnosis and an outline of the principles of management of each type of resorption will provide clinicians with guidelines to use in their own cases. Examples showing the outcomes of these treatment protocols will also be presented.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the 11 types of tooth resorption and their clinical and radiographic features.
  • Differentially diagnose the different types of tooth resorption.
  • Outline the general magement options for each type of resorption.
