In such cases, management is difficult, especially when multiple teeth are involved. The aim of the present study was to assess the literature regarding the medical, clinical, and radiographic aspects of multiple idiopathic resorptions (MIR) and to examine the factors associated with the risk of extraction. Methods: The title and protocol were registered a priori in PROSPERO (CRD42020191564), and the study followed the PRISMA methodology. Four electronic databases were searched to include reviews and case reports on MIR in permanent dentition. Results: Among the 1035 articles identified, 31 case reports were included. The mean age of the patients was 32 years (SD = 16.4). MIR were consistently diagnosed after radiographic evaluation and were undetected during intra-oral examination in 62% of cases. The treatment involved extraction in 77% of cases. The risk of extraction increased in the presence of periodontal inflammation. Conclusions: MIR are aggressive forms of resorption requiring routine visits. MIR mostly involve extraction and lead to a challenging prosthetic rehabilitation due to severely damaged abutment teeth. However, the current knowledge on MIR remains fragmental and based on a limited number of case reports.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm12071182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,20]],"date-time":"2022-07-20T11:22:24Z","timestamp":1658316144000},"page":"1182","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Medical, Clinical, and Radiographic Aspects of Multiple Idiopathic Tooth Resorption: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9298-1293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rapha\u00ebl","family":"Richert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospices Civils de Lyon, PAM d\u2019Odontologie, 69007 Lyon, France"},{"name":"UFR d\u2019Odontogie, Universit\u00e9 Claude Bernard Lyon I, Universit\u00e9 de Lyon, 69008 Lyon, France"},{"name":"Laboratoire de M\u00e9canique des Contacts et Structures, UMR 5259 CNRS\/INSA Lyon\\Universit\u00e9 de Lyon, 69100 Villeurbanne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Santamaria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospices Civils de Lyon, PAM d\u2019Odontologie, 69007 Lyon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurent","family":"Laforest","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UFR d\u2019Odontogie, Universit\u00e9 Claude Bernard Lyon I, Universit\u00e9 de Lyon, 69008 Lyon, France"},{"name":"Laboratoire des Multimat\u00e9riaux et Interfaces, UMR CNRS 5615\/UCBL, 69622 Villeurbanne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8862-4085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Christophe","family":"Maurin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospices Civils de Lyon, PAM d\u2019Odontologie, 69007 Lyon, France"},{"name":"UFR d\u2019Odontogie, Universit\u00e9 Claude Bernard Lyon I, Universit\u00e9 de Lyon, 69008 Lyon, France"},{"name":"Laboratoire de Biologie Tissulaire et Ing\u00e9nierie Th\u00e9rapeutique, UMR 5305 CNRS\\Universit\u00e9 Claude Bernard Lyon 1, 69008 Lyon, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"2015","article-title":"AAE special committee of full-time educators","volume":"9","author":"Berman","year":"2016","journal-title":"Gloss.
