Root resorption, particularly within thecontext of orthodontic treatment, presents amultifaceted challenge. While the exertionof force is commonly identified as a keyparameter influencing susceptibility, it is agross oversimplification to attribute rootresorption solely to the application ofexcessive force. The dynamics of rootresorption are far more complex,encompassing a range of factors that extendbeyond mere mechanical stress.This text serves as the foundationalintroduction to "The CLEAR Path toUnderstanding Root Resorption," acomprehensive course meticulously craftedby The CLEAR Institute. Designed for dentalprofessionals, this course seeks to demystifythe complexities surrounding rootresorption, with a particular focus on theevolving domain of clear alignerorthodontics.As the dental landscape transforms with theburgeoning use of clear aligners, theimperative to grasp and manage conditionslike root resorption becomes increasinglyparamount.

The uptick in adult orthodontic treatmentshas been significant, driven by the discreteand accessible nature of clear aligners. Thisshift not only represents a paradigm changein patient demographics but also heralds anew era of orthodontic market growth.Projections estimate a staggering tenfoldincrease from $4 billion to $40 billion over adecade, signifying an unprecedented influxof patients into orthodontic care.Adult patients, however, bring with them atapestry of dental history. The task at handis not just the straightening of teeth but alsoaddressing the multifaceted aspects ofdental aesthetics and health. Thus, settingrealistic expectations prior to treatment iscrucial, as pre-treatment observations serveas diagnostics, whereas post-treatmentobservations can become excuses. It iswithin this narrative that General Dentistsfind an intriguing role. By integratingorthodontics into comprehensive dentistry,practitioners can elevate the quality of careto be more conservative, creative, andaligned with the principles of minimallyinvasive dentistry.In an era where societal norms andexpectations are heavily influenced by the INTRODUCTIONlearn.theclearinstitute.com© 2024 The CLEAR Institute Inc.

pervasive reach of social media, the demand for aesthetic perfection is at an all-timehigh. While not every desired outcome isfeasible, the role of the dentist transcendsbeyond merely delivering treatment—it isabout being a responsible healthcareprovider. In this context, while artificialintelligence and advanced software haverevolutionized treatment planning andvisualization, they fall short in areas such asthe prediction and prevention of rootresorption.The current array of digital tools at adentist's disposal is remarkable, offeringunprecedented levels of precision inplanning and executing treatments.However, these tools cannot account for theunpredictability of root resorption. This gapbetween virtual planning and clinical realityunderscores the need for a deepunderstanding of the conditions that lead toroot resorption and strategies to mitigate itsoccurrence.As the industry confronts these challenges,claims that clear aligners are immune to rootresorption are not only unfounded but aredangerously misleading.
