Abstract

To report a rare case of multiple idiopathic apical root resorption in an adult male. A 27-year-old male with no history of medical or dental disorders was referred by his family dentist for evaluation of extreme root resorption involving the apical region of most of his teeth. A complete haematological investigation was conducted and all the results were within the normal range. Mobility of the teeth was physiologic and no abnormal periodontal pockets were observed. A diagnosis of multiple idiopathic apical root resorption was made. *Apical root resorption of multiple teeth can be related to no specific aetiology and is known as idiopathic apical root resorption. *It is mostly seen in young adult males; maxillary teeth are more frequently involved. *No preventive or therapeutic regimen is known and monitoring accompanied by periodontal maintenance is recommended.
