“…Although multiple root resorption is rare, some studies regarding this pathology are mentioned. Mueller and Rony 4 reported the first case of idiopathic cervical root resorption in 1930; since then, several cases have been reported [1][2][3][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] .In 1979, Hopkins and Adams 14 presented the case where maxillary teeth are severely affected and within 3 years all remaining teeth of both jaws were extracted because of severe resorptive process. There was no history of trauma as well as carious involvement.…”

“…When none of these causes are present, resorption of teeth is termed ''idiopathic resorption of teeth.'' 1,2 The process of root resorption involves a complex interaction of inflammatory cells, resorbing cells, hard tissue, cytokines and enzymes such as collagenase, matrix metalloproteinase and cysteine proteinase. 3,4 The periodontal ligament is a specialized connective tissue which acts as a barrier between the alveolar bone and cementum.…”

This paper describes a case of progressive idiopathic external root resorption at cement-enamel junction in multiple teeth of both jaws ongoing for 6 years. In addition to clinical features serial radiographs are presented that revealed progressive involvement of root resorption. Since the first appointment until the next 6 years no clinical, radiographic or laboratory findings were available to disclose the etiology of such extensive ongoing resorption; neither the provided treatments could arrest the progression of the pathology that forced the clinicians to diagnose the case as progressive idiopathic external resorption.Update Dent.

“…The literature suggests that similar cases were asymptomatic and were discovered coincidentally on radiographic examination. 9 Treatment of idiopathic root resorption has varied from extraction to endodontic treatment or watchful waiting. Rarely, calcitonin has been recommended as an interim root canal medicament to assist in the inhibition of oestoclastic bone and tooth resorption.…”

“…The distribution of MICRR can vary from a single region to the entire dentition 1 and the number of teeth affected by resorption tends to increase as the condition is followed over time 5 .It is unknown whether there is a genetic predisposition to MICRR. Given that the condition has been identified in both patients and their offspring 6 , a familial pattern of inheritance is likely.…”

Clinical RelevanceClinicians need to be aware that multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption is a rare condition. Suspected patients may require specialist, multidisciplinary care and require referral to an appropriate secondary care unit for treatment planning and potential oral rehabilitation. ObjectiveTo highlight potential short, medium and long-term dental treatment options for patients presenting with multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption. AbstractMultiple Idiopathic Cervical Root Resorption (MICRR) is a rare condition. It initiates at the cement-enamel junction of multiple teeth. The lesions continue to grow until they unite, thereby undermining the entire coronal structure of the affected teeth. Its distribution can vary from a single region to the entire dentition and the number of teeth affected by resorption tends to increase as the condition is followed over time. The teeth themselves appear clinically normal.The aetiology of MICRR is unknown and it is considered to be a diagnosis of exclusion. The condition tends to be progressive. Consequently, root treatments/surgical curettage and restoration of the lesions have been 3 unsuccessful at arresting the condition. Affected teeth are often extracted in anticipation of catastrophic fracture and have been replaced with partial or complete dentures.In this case report, we describe how a young female patient was dentally managed over 10 years and ultimately rehabilitated with dental implants 4

Multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption: systematic review and report of four cases

Abstract: Multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption was found most frequently associated with younger females. This condition appeared to be of unknown aetiology and uncertain natural history.
