SARA, Grinfeld et al. Second deciduous molars: physiological and pathological resorption. Odontol. Clín.-Cient. (Online) [online]. 2015, vol.14, n.1, pp. 579-583. ISSN 1677-3888.

Aim: This retrospective study evaluated the loss of the second deciduous molars either by physiological or pathological root resorption in patients enrolled at the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic I and II at the Federal University of Pernambuco. Methods: A review of 112 patient records were assessed and registered in a form. The following variables were analyzed: gender, age, type of treatment (invasive or no invasive), type of resorption (physiological or pathological) and region (maxillary or mandibular). Results: The physiological resorption was more observed than the pathological resorption in both arches. It was noted that there was a statistically significant association between the age group of 2-4 years old and the resorption (p<0.001). The mean age of patients for physiological resorption was 6.65 and 4.49 years old for pathological resorption of the second deciduous molars. Conclusion: It can be concluded that there was an early deciduous second molars loss. There are great possibilities of impaired functional occlusion of the individual.
