Biological, genetic, systemic, chronological and dental age, nutritional status, gender, habits, dentoalveolar trauma, and mechanical are the most common factors of causing the Root Resorption. This research was focused in the systemic factors, specifically the hypothyroidism, to establish its relation with the Root Resorption, in order to avoid that this condition would be linked exclusively with the orthodontic treatment, but to establish different causes that help specialists to expand their knowledge to minimize potential risks, that would affect their professional careers.Before an orthodontic treatment is initiated, it is necessary to identify every cause associated with the RR, so that the success would be guaranteed with the proper handling of forces, appliances and X-Rays controls. The main objective of this research was to establish how frequently the RR is detected in patients who were diagnosed with hypothyroidism before they start an orthodontic treatment, so a relation between the resorptive causes of the permanent upper and lower central incisors can be established.This research was based in a sample of 20 patients, and it concludes the incidence that the hypothyroidism has in the Root Resorption, also generating expectation in readers about deeper investigation and analysis with other systematic deceases commonly linked with this phenomenon, in order to improve the orthodontic handling in this kind of patients.OBJETIVO establecer la frecuencia de la reabsorción radicular en pacientes diagnosticados con hipotiroidismo previo al tratamiento de ortodoncia. METODO: la muestra conformada por 20 pacientes ubicados en la ciudad de Bogotá, que cumplieran con criterios de inclusión tales como pacientes sin tratamientos de ortodoncia previos o actuales y que estuviesen diagnosticados con hipotiroidismo primario. RESULTADOS: reflejan una frecuencia del 65% de RRE, siendo la de grado 1, la más frecuente con un 83%, reportando a su vez, que el maxilar más afectado es el inferior específicamente en el diente 31. CONCLUSIONES: El estudio concluye en cuanto a la relación del hipotiroidismo y la RRE lo cual se evidencia en los resultados que corresponden a un 65% de la muestra que presenta RRE. La realización del presente estudio, permitió identificar los diferentes grados de reabsorción radicular en los dientes evaluados, dando como resultado que la frecuencia de RRE es relativamente alta en este tipo de pacientes, generando gran expectativa en cuanto a la necesidad de profundizar en este tipo de investigaciones, para poder unificar conceptos que permitan establecer el riesgo previsto antes de iniciar tratamiento de ortodoncia.88 pp.application/pdfesReabsorción radicularHipotiroidismoRemodelado óseoOsteoblastosOsteoclastosOdontoblastosOdontoclastosInvestigación de campotext::thesis::bachelor thesisTOR-BOG-20132-00103Root ResorptionHypothyroidismBone remodelingOsteoclastOdontoclastsOdontoblastopenAccess
