Idiopathic external coronal resorption. Case report. 1982

G E Grundy, and K F Adkins

External resorption occasionally affects the coronal tissues of unerupted teeth. In young patients these teeth may be interpreted radiographically as being carious. The resorption frequently does not extend to the pulp chamber. Loss of integrity of the reduced enamel epithelium may predispose to these changes. This paper reports the features of an example of idiopathic external coronal resorption.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008963	Molar	The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower). They are grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p821)	Molars
D009807	Odontogenic Cysts	Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation.	Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst

D006644	Histiocytes	Macrophages found in the TISSUES, as opposed to those found in the blood (MONOCYTES) or serous cavities (SEROUS MEMBRANE).	Histiocyte

D014091	Tooth Resorption	Resorption of calcified dental tissue, involving demineralization due to reversal of the cation exchange and lacunar resorption by osteoclasts. There are two types: external (as a result of tooth pathology) and internal (apparently initiated by a peculiar inflammatory hyperplasia of the pulp).

D014097	Tooth, Unerupted	A normal developing tooth which has not yet perforated the oral mucosa or one that fails to erupt in the normal sequence or time interval expected for the type of tooth in a given gender, age, or population group.	Teeth, Unerupted,Unerupted Teeth,Unerupted Tooth
