Abstract
A case of multiple idiopathic apical root resorption in a 26-yr-old female patient is presented. A review of the literature revealed that extensive id iopathic root resorption is unusual, Neither local nor systemic etiological factors were found in our case. Examination of parents and siblings did no t reveal a familiar tendency. Radiographs and clinical evaluation showed a very poor prognosis for most of the teeth present in the mouth of our patie nt.
