Orthodontically induced root resorption in endodontically treated and vital teeth: a cone beam computer tomographic study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Orthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR) is a common side effect of orthodontic treatment. This study compares the degree of OIRR between root-filled teeth (RFT) and vital pulp teeth (VPT), and analyzes relevant study variables.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study on 69 patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment. Using Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), we measured changes of root length before and after treatment through a unique method involving three-dimensional (3D) image registration and superimposition. Factors related to the OIRR such as gender, type of treatment, tooth type, age, duration of treatment and distance of root movement were considered.

Results

The sample included 55 females and 14 males aged 27.19 ± 6.08 years. On t
