resorptionrelated
Resorption-related refers to processes, factors, or conditions that involve resorption, the biological breakdown and removal of mineralized tissue or cellular components. In biology, resorption is a normal part of tissue turnover and remodeling, as well as a response to injury or disease. The most studied example is bone resorption, driven by osteoclasts that dissolve mineralized matrix and release minerals into circulation. Resorption also occurs in teeth, where odontoclasts can remove dental hard tissue during development, eruption, or under pathological stimuli.
Mechanisms underlying resorption involve coordinated cellular activity and signaling. Osteoclasts resorb by creating an acidic microenvironment
Resorption can be physiological or pathological. Physiological resorption includes normal bone remodeling and dental processes like
In clinical practice, resorption-related changes are assessed via imaging methods such as radiographs and cone-beam computed
