Root resorption may be categorized as internal or external. Internal root resorption, sometimes called internal granuloma, is usually a result of pulpal trauma. Affected teeth demonstrate a radiolucent enlargement within the pulp canal on a dental radiograph. External root resorption has a variety of causes, including eruption pressure, localized infection, and forced orthodontic pressure. Radiographs demonstrate roots that appear to be sawed off or shortened."}
