ABSTRACT: Tooth root resorption is multifactorial, and its etiology and pathogenesis are poorly understood. Tooth root resorption is often incidentally revealed on radiographic examination. Here, we report a case of root resorption in multiple teeth of unknown etiology. Radiographic examination revealed root resorption in the cervical region of the left lateral incisor, canine, first and second premolars, and first and second molars of the mandible. Panoramic radiographs revealed no mandibular lesions that could cause tooth resorption. The patient did not wish to undergo any treatment and is currently under observation. Tooth root resorption with unknown etiology is rare, and further case collection is needed to determine the cause and treatment.
