Question 81 (part 2) · LDEK · Resorption

Indicate the type of resorption, in which development, the pulp does not play a role and in most cases is vital. It is caused by cementum damage and detachment of dentin fibers or their necrosis due to iatrogenic injury:

  1. A. cervical.
  2. B. lateral inflammatory of the root.
  3. C. apical inflammatory.
  4. D. ankyloses.
  5. E. replacement.
Hint

Think of the resorption that starts below the epithelial attachment at the tooth neck and is fed by sulcular bacteria rather than by the pulp.
