RESUMO
This article presents the clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features of various types of tooth root resorption. Tooth resorption may occur in a tooth internally or externally with distinctively different treatment approaches for each type of resorption. Given that proper diagnosis of the type of resorption is important, the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and conventional 2-D intraoral images in evaluation of resorptive lesions is discussed.

The authors present a case report of a 52-year-old Hispanic female who presented for a routine dental exam at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. Incidental findings of multiple, calcified acne vulgaris lesions were noted in the soft tissues of the cheek that were viewed in the periapical radiographs. The findings were confirmed by a clinical evaluation of the patient's skin and past history.
