Figure 1

Initial radiographic examination of SRA (age of patient: 11 years and 9 months). (a) Panoramic radiography. (b) Periapical radiograph of the maxillary incisors. (c) and (d) Periapical radiographs of the lower incisors. Notice the abnormally short roots with round apices of all teeth except first molars. Mandibular first premolars also have short roots, but their root to crown ratio is bigger than 1 : 1. Maxillary lateral incisors present intense root resorption and apical radiolucency.
