What Is Root Resorption?
Root resorption can cause the gradual loss of a tooth's root structure, which can be caused by various factors, such as trauma, infection, or pressure from surrounding teeth. Since treatment at Prime Endodontics depends on an underlying cause. Our dental team might suggest imaging tests to figure out the nature, type, location and spread of the resorption defect. Treatment options may include managing symptoms, such as pain and swelling, in mild cases, or more complex procedures, like root canal therapy and minor surgical therapy in severe cases. Schedule a consultation with our team at our Kirkland, WA practice. Our goal is to preserve the tooth and its functionality as much as possible.
How Does Root Resorption Work?
Root resorption at Prime Endodontics addresses the breakdown of tooth root structures due to internal or external factors. Internal resorption can lead to the hollowing of the tooth's root canal while external resorption affects the root's outer sections. The treatment approach for root resorption at Prime Endodontics might involve different strategies, depending on the severity and type of resorption. Mild cases might only require symptomatic treatment, such as managing pain or inflammation. More severe cases might result in procedures, like root canal therapy or surgical repair if the damage is extensive. Imaging tests are often recommended to assess the extent of the resorption and to better understand the condition.
