Abstract
INTRODUCTION: External apical root resorption (EARR) is an undesirable loss of hard tissues of the tooth root frequently affecting to the maxillary incisors. The magnitude of orthodontic forces is a major treatment-related factor associated with EARR occurrence in orthodontics. The primary aim of the present randomized clinical trial was (i) to quantify the impact of a sequence of personalized force archwires on EARR compared to the conventional standard of care and (ii) compare the 3D-quantification of EARR using two quantification methods (manual or automated AI-aided segmentation).
