title: [Orthodontic treatment and root resorption].
abstract: Root resorption after orthodontic treatment occurs frequently. The biologic process of tooth movement and root resorption is described. Furthermore, attention is given to the frequency and severity of root resorption, diagnostics and aspects of the orthodontic treatment which aggravate root resorption. Displacement of teeth with resorptions that already exist or with deviating rootforms is riskfull.
