A-unerupted teeth****
impacted third molar may have external resorption bcoz of long
period of impaction , on radiographs resorption appear as loss of
tooth structure and shall never be confused with caries since the
tooth is impacted . the follicle
that normally surround the unerupted tooth is lost so that the
. osteoclasts can reach the tooth surface and start working
:the DR put aslide for
an impacted canine that has resorption of crown bcoz of (1 )
.impaction
apic for an impacted supernumerary tooth that has an root (2)
. resorption which is the most famous type of external resorption
B- chronic inflammation
As you remember that we talked if the chronic inflammation
stand for a long period of time it will result in the resorption of
.the involved tooth
C-idiopathic
D- orthodontic resorption
The forces that are applied to teeth during orthodontic
movement may cause their resorption
Cysts & BENIGN tumors and any lesions that occupy a space
that was occupied by something else like bone marrow spaces or
teeth . they may fully occupy the space or displace these
structures and cause directional resorption . malignant tumors
maybe considered as space occupying lesions but the difference
is that they cause non _ directional resorption and they are not
. confined to one area
F-endocrine
