This session will describe what is known about the genetic and orthodontic treatment-related factors that are associated with the development of External Apical Root Resorption (EARR). Utilizing a hybrid-presentation style, the speaker will (a) assess the audiences' knowledge on the topic, (b) summarize the literature in the field, (c) share recent research findings from her laboratory, (d) discuss the limitations associated with many EARR study designs, and (e) describe potential clinical tools that could be available the future for predicting risk EARR occurrence.
Learning Objectives:
After this session, attendees will be able to:
Describe the current literature in the field.
Describe recent research findings related to genetic and treatment-related factors associated with EARR.
Discuss the potential clinical tools that may aid in predicting EARR risk in the future.
