Abstract
This study aimed to investigate and evaluate the amount of external apical root resorption (EARR) in incisors after receiving orthodontic treatment employing fixed orthodontic appliances (FOA) or clear aligners (CAT). PRISMA criteria were used in conducting the systematic review. Retrospective studies and randomized control trials that used cone beam computed tomography, periapical radiography, and 2D panoramic radiography to assess EARR levels in anterior teeth following orthodontic treatment w
