Orthodontic Tooth Movement and Root Resorption

Prof. Dr. Andreas Jäger

It is the goal of any orthodontic treatment to improve occlusal function and dentofacial esthetics. At the same time, a support of long-term health of the dentition is desired. Like any kind of medical or dental treatment, orthodontic movement of teeth entails principal risks which have to be explained to the patient. Among the
risks that have been discovered, mechanically induced resorption of the roots of teeth is of particular interest.
In the course of the lecture, recent basic research and clinically relevant aspects will be covered like incidence, etiology, diagnosis and possible strategies for avoidance. Special attention is given to the differentiation between possible risk factors inherent in treatment mechanics and those arising from susceptibility of the patient.
