Pathological resorption of teeth - what does this mean
Pathological resorption of teeth occurs when the body's immune system mistakes the tooth for a foreign body and attacks it, causing the root of the tooth to be reabsorbed by the body. this resorption can be caused by trauma, periodontal disease, or other systemic diseases, and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - pathological resorption of teeth
Pathological resorption of teeth is a condition in which the roots of teeth are destroyed due to an abnormal inflammatory response. this is usually caused by an infection, trauma, or a foreign body, which triggers an immune response in the body. this leads to the release of inflammatory mediators, which cause the destruction of the root of the tooth. as the root is destroyed, the tooth becomes loose and eventually falls out.
