The length of the mesial and distal roots of the primary molar was calculated using a computer program (PixelStick\u00ae) that measures the pixels indicated in the image. Student\u2019s t test, the Mann\u2012Whitney <jats:italic>U<\/jats:italic> test and the Kruskal\u2012Wallis test were used for comparisons, and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 indicated statistical significance.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A 0.84\u00a0mm delay in root resorption of the first mandibular primary molar (74) in boys was described. There was also a delay in the resorption of the mesial root of 0.89\u00a0mm and 1.12\u00a0mm from the distal root of the second mandibular primary molar (75) in boys and a significant increase in root resorption in girls (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).

The root resorption pattern of the first mandibular primary molar was symmetrical; however, the resorption pattern of the second mandibular primary molar was asymmetric, with the mesial root being resorbed first. Clinical and radiographic monitoring of mandibular primary molars with unevenly resorbed roots is recommended to avoid the complications associated with over retained molars.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40368-025-01052-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,7]],"date-time":"2025-05-07T11:58:06Z","timestamp":1746619086000},"page":"977-986","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Root resorption pattern and root length of mandibular primary molars in children: a cross-sectional radiographic study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4786-2014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C.
