Case Report: Root resorption caused after pulp death of adjacent primary molar

Name	World Continuing Education Alliance
Activity Title	Case Report: Root resorption caused after pulp death of adjacent primary molar
Details	Root resorption is the physiologic or pathologic loss of dentin and/or cementum and/or bone. Primary teeth can go through either type, but other than resorption during the shedding process resorption is considered pathologic. Inflammatory root resorption is not a rare finding in the pediatric community, with spread of infection from a carious tooth as a main causen Objectives Course Objective Necrotic decayed primary molars with necrotic pulp tissues may show periapical involvement and root resorption. In this case report, a pediatric patient with a very common chief complain and clinical picture of necrotic badly decayed molar, introduced a very interesting case when radiographic investigation was performed, which showed that root resorption of the adjacent healthy molar occurred. The current report is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to report such finding in primary dentition.
