Abstract
In the permanent tooth, physiological root resorption does not occur, but inflammatory resorption occurs due to the orthodontic force, ectopic eruption of neighboring tooth and others. In this study, the morphological and histological investigation of the root resorption of the upper permanent incisors caused by the ectopic eruption of the canine was carried out. The left central incisor and lateral incisor from a 12year-old female were examined. The roots were resorbed almost completely, and in part the resorption extended into the enamel.
