title: Multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption: a case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a severe and rare case of multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption (MICRR) in an adult female.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A healthy 27-year-old Chinese female, with no significant associated factors, presented with MICRR. Resorption progressed quickly and lesions varied in severity, involving 29 teeth and leading to the loss of 23 teeth over a period of only 3 years. The inner surface of the crown showed extensive areas with worm-eaten lacunar resorption, and the resorptive lesions had abundant lysosomes throughout their cytoplasm. Further, heavy deposits of reaction products were shown in variously sized lysosomes.
