Orthodontic Root Resorption

Dear Colleagues,

With the improvement of the orthodontic objectives and quality of life of patients, root resorption after orthodontic treatment has become a topic of widespread concern. Its main harm is that it reduces the crown-root ratio of teeth, reduces the stability, and even causes loosening and shedding of teeth. Root resorption may occur due to the amount and manner of force applied during orthodontic treatment, as well as other treatments.

The causes of root resorption include many factors. Radiological assessment is the most commonly used diagnostic method at present. This special issue will investigate the effect of orthodontic therapy on biological tissues and root resorption, and methods to reduce the incidence of root absorption.The latest technological developments will be shared through this special issue. We invite researchers and investigators to contribute their original research or review articles to this special issue.
