Description
Ana Paula de Medeiros Silva and co-authors published this study in 2026. It uses three-dimensional dental scans to explore the link between two kinds of tooth damage. One is bone loss around the roots; the other is external cervical resorption, a process that eats into the tooth neck from outside.
From over nine thousand scans, the team selected seventy-five teeth with the resorption lesion in sixty-four patients. Damage patterns were charted against age, tooth type, and lesion shape. Bone loss tracked the lesion closely, above all in back teeth and when the lesion sat below the bone crest or wrapped a quarter to half way around the tooth. The flat, horizontal pattern of bone loss was most common. Older patients showed worse links between lesion height and bone damage. The authors say 3D imaging helps catch these paired lesions before they progress.
