Risk Factors Associated With Orthodontic Root Resorption and its Treatment Methods

Orthodontic-related root resorption affects dental health. The aim of the present study was to review the research conducted on the risk factors associated with orthodontic-related root resorption and its treatment methods. This is a review on scientific databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Available data were extracted from the studies, and they were reviewed for quality and methodology. Between 2021 and 2024, 16,531 records were identified. Based on the search keywords, 398 studies were remined from screened records, and finally, 24 records were included. Factors such as the intensity and duration of orthodontic forces, tooth root characteristics (including root length and shape), age, history of dental trauma, and genetics may increase the risk of root resorption.
