It’s well known thatthe grate incidence of this type of pathology occur on frontal tooth upper incisive central,incisive lateral and canines and on lower incisive laterals and canines because theirs longer andsharper roots. When through the radiography findings it is possible clearly identify the root teethtype we are able to predict the possibility of root resorption during the forces application neededto orthodontic tooth movements and also we have the capability to inform to parents and the patientabout this possible risk, but we also have the opportunity to stablish the preventive actions inorder to minimize undesirable effects of the orthodontic treatment.
