abstract: This article presents a review of the literature on the action of 5 (five) possible predisponent agents of root resorption (treatment time, amount of dental movement, amount of force used, individual susceptibility and trauma) during orthodontic treatment and describes a clinical case with pronounced overjet and overbite where, the presence of resorption in one traumatized tooth limited the mechanics to light forces only.
