title: Atypical root resorption of maxillary primary central incisors due to digital sucking: a report of 82 cases.
abstract: To illustrate particular patterns of apical root resorption in primary maxillary central incisors of digital suckers, the radiographs of patients in a private pedodontic practice were evaluated. All cases in this study displayed one of four typical forms of apical root resorption. Radiographic findings appeared in children as young as twenty-five months of age.
