“…As proposed in teeth with vital pulps (Mavridou et al . ), ECR also progresses in three stages in endodontically treated teeth namely, resorption initiation (1st stage), resorption pattern (2nd stage) and repair (3rd stage). However, in each of these stages, several significant differences were observed, namely in the following.…”

“…In the work of Mavridou et al . ()), it was shown that the vital pulp tissue and the pericanalar resorption resistant sheet (PRRS) can affect ECR, as they have been observed to obstruct its progression. However, during endodontic treatment, the pulp tissue and the resorption resistant area (PRRS) that surrounds the root canal space (Mavridou et al .…”

Similar ECR patterns were observed in all examined teeth. These patterns consisted of an initiation, a resorption and a reparative stage. Some differences were noticed between endodontically treated and teeth with vital pulps, mainly in the resorption and reparative stages. The resorption stage in root filled teeth was more intense than the repair stage, as many clastic cells and abundant granulation tissue were observed in all samples. This is possibly due to the absence of the pulp and protective PRRS layer and/or to the altered chemical composition of the root dentine after root canal treatment. Furthermore, at the repair stage, formation of reparative bonelike tissue took place to a lesser extent in root filled teeth.
