ABSTRACT
The features of the development of the pathological process in the area of the tooth root under the influence of odontoclasts have been the subject of active research in recent years. There are some clinical classifications of pathological tooth root resorption, the use of which causes difficulties for the clinician in diagnosis and treatment, which determines the need to analyze and summarize the material about the features of the manifestation and systematization of pathological tooth root resorption.
The aim of the study. To develop a new clinical classification of pathological tooth resorption based on the analysis of our own clinical studies in the field of diagnosis and treatment methods of pathological resorption of permanent teeth.
Objects and methods. The clinical classification of pathological tooth resorption has been developed based on the analysis of patients own clinical observations and data from foreign and domestic literature.
Results and discussion. The new clinical classification of pathological tooth resorption has been proposed, which characterizes it according to its course, shape, depth of damage, localization on the root surface and prevalence.
Conclusion. Our own clinical observations, generalization of the results of diagnosis and treatment of pathological tooth root resorption, established a number of important mechanisms of its manifestation, and determined the feasibility of including the developed classification into the clinical protocol of pathological tooth resorption.

Keywords: pathological tooth resorption, clinical classification
