Abstract
Orthodontic induced external apical root resorption is one of the idiopathic phenomenon’s as an effect, force generated through mechanotherapy as one of the cause and the biological tissues with their diversified variations as witness. It is also sub classified into iatrogenic as a result of indeterminate application of orthodontic forces with subconscious appreciation of the existing conditions. Numerous factors were identified to be related to this irreversible pathologic condition, but none were proven scientifically. Genetics and salivary markers proved the reliability with time. Different assessment methods were also identified to clinically diagnose it both subjectively and objectively. Mostly it is identified through routine radiographic stage records or certain prediction radiographs for root resorption probability assessment. This case report discusses one such encounter which was experienced after stage 2 mechanics involving quite a few teeth. Considering the biotype of the individual and tooth morphology the treatment was terminated and recovery measures were briefed to uplift the self-esteem of the individual.
