Tooth resorption is a process by which all or part of a tooth structure is lost due to activation of the body's innate capacity to remove mineralized tissue, as mediated via cells such as osteoclasts.

Types include external resorption and internal resorption.

It can be due to trauma, infection, or hyperplasia.^[1]
