Figure 8: An overview of the neuroectodermal-derived peripheral nerves and the nervous influence on root resorption. The upper image illustrates a panoramic radiograph of an adult female. The different colors illustrate the different innervation paths to different jaw fields (red - incisors, green canine - premolars, and blue - molars). Demyelinization of the right nasopalatine nerve (red) due to the meningitis virus attack at the age of 10 is depicted in the lower left part of the figure. The drawing on the skin indicates areas with change in sensitivity. The lower figures demonstrate how cervical resorption, first in the central incisor and then in the lateral incisor, also occur as a consequence of the demyelinization. The resorption is limited to the frontonasal field. The lower right radiographic images show abnormal cervical resorption due to whooping cough at the age of 6. All teeth in the left part of the maxilla and in the incisor field of the mandible were extracted due to aggressive resorption
