[Oradlist] Question

[Allan G Farman]

Idiopathic external root resorption is a well-recognized but little
understood abnormality and this is an excellent example of the
condition. I have recently accepted a series of three cases with
advanced imaging for publication online in OOOOE. Two of these three
cases required multiple root canal treatments and the other was
successfully treated using plastic restorations. AGF

All,
 
I received the following note and attached photo/radiographs from an
orthodontist in New Orleans.  I also have the complete mouth survey.  I
am
not sending that because of the size (600k).  If anyone would like to
see it
please let me know. There was no information other than what I have
copied
below.  Does anyone know of any current treatment for this apparent
case of
idiopathic cervical root resorption?  Please feel free to contact him
directly, he does not have access to this list.
 
You all--I am calling on all of my very special dental friends, to take
a
look at these x rays of my 40 year old daughter who developed
generalized
cervical root resorption, to help me find out what caused this
catastrophe,
and what can be done to fix it. She had a full mouth x ray done a year
ago,
with NO evidence of this malady, and every dentist I have called on,
indicated that they had never seen anything like this before.  If you
don`t
know, please pass it on to someone that might know, and let me hear
from
you.  It is so painful for one of your kids to be damaged, and you not
know
what to do to fix it---help - Gene Dongieux
