Panoramic radiographs of STAT3-HIES patients with delayed root resportion. (a) The panoramic radiograph of patient #12 shows persistence of all primary teeth with delayed root resorbtion of most primary teeth at 8 years of age. The first permanent molars have not yet reached the occlusal level while the superior alveolar bone had already been resorbed. (b) At 9 years of age, patient #11 had 3 retained primary incisors, primary canines and molars with unresorbed and barely resorbed primary tooth roots. (c) At 10 years of age patient #6 had multiple retained primary molars in the maxilla and mandible with unresorbed and barely resorbed tooth roots with completed bone resorption superior to the second permanent molars on the left side and almost complete resorption on the right side
