Root resorption is the progressive loss of dentine and cementum through the continued action of osteoclastic cells. In the primary/mixed dentition this is a normal physiological process in exfoliation of deciduous teeth but in resulting the adult dentition is largely pathological. The process of resorption may be self-limiting and go undetected clinically. Once initiated, if the initial surface resorptive process is sustained, for example by infection and/or pressure, dental hard tissue destruction will continue and tooth tissue loss may occur. This may result in the tooth becoming...

Statistics is the science whereby inferences are made about specific random phenomena on the basis of relatively limited sample material. Today statistics is widely employed in government, business, and all the sciences. Electronic computers have expedited statistical computation, and have allowed statisticians to develop "computer-intensive" methods Research is usually done to solve those questions which are still a puzzle for society. Research can help the human kind to find out new ways to lead healthy life style or how to cure deadly diseases and many more things which are an obstacle in...
