Tooth resorption is a common sequel following injuries to or irritation of the periodontal ligament and/or tooth pulp. The course of tooth resorption involves an elaborate interaction among inflammatory cells, resorbing cells and hard tissue structures. The key cells involved in resorption are of the clastic type. The types of tooth resorption include internal and external resorption. Frequently the process of resorption is difficult to predict, diagnose and treat. However, the process of tooth resorption is believed to be very similar to that of bone resorption.
