Abstract: Common complications of dento-alveolar trauma are pulp necrosis, pulp canal obliteration, periapical pathosis and root resorption. Different types of root resorption have been identified with traumatic injuries. Repair-related (surface), infection-related (inflammatory), ankylosis-related (osseous replacement) or extraradicular invasive cervical resorption are among the most common. Recent developments in imaging systems have enabled clinicians to visualize structural changes effectively. The diagnosis and three-dimensional imaging assessment of the resorption is important in order to determine the treatment complexity and expected outcome based on the location and extension of the root defect. This article discusses and illustrates the clinical application of cone beam computed tomography for diagnosis and treatment plan of root resorption. Four clinical cases are presented to illustrate the potential use of the NewTom 3G for root resorption.
