Abstract
Periodontal ligament damage is very common as a result of falls or trauma. lf the tooth is unable to fully absorb the energy of impact, displacement results, with damage to the periodontal ligament. This study offers a histological evaluation of the most frequent periodontal alteration, i. e. root resorption. Accordingly, a search of the articles and monographs on the subject has been made based on the Pubmed database, with a Medline search of the corresponding abstracts. Conclusion: to date, the precise mechanism responsible for root resistance to resorption under certain clinical conditions remains uncertain.
