title: Progressive cervical root resorption related to tetracycline root conditioning.
abstract: Root resorption is reported as a microscopic finding in trials attempting to regenerate the periodontium using tetracycline or citric acid root conditioning. This report deals with a case of progressive cervical root resorption in a female patient who had been successfully treated by tetracycline root conditioning. The article emphasizes the possibility of this adverse effect, and discusses a possible mechanism inducing this phenomenon.
