Root resorption in clear aligner treatment detected by CBCT: a Systematic review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of external apical root resorption in patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment with clear aligners evaluated using cone beam computed tomography.

Methods

Studies that evaluated external apical root resorption before and after comprehensive orthodontic treatment with clear aligners were assessed by performing an electronic search from 5 databases comprising PubMed, SCOPUS, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, and LILACS and manual searches in the relevant journals and the reference lists of the included studies.
