In resorption of roots of the primary teeth, the dental pulp_____________?
Correct answer: A. Plays a passive role
- A. Plays a passive role
- B. Becomes a fibrotic non-vital mass
- C. Initiates resorption from the inner surface of roots
- D. Aids in formation of secondary dentin slowing down resorption
Explanation
Physiological resorption of primary roots is carried out mainly by odontoclasts on the external root surface, while the dental pulp generally remains a passive participant. It does not initiate resorption from the inner surface, and pulp fibrosis or secondary dentin formation is not the usual mechanism.
