Internal root resorption is due to damage to which layer in the pulp?

  1. Cementoblastic

  2. Fibroblastic

  3. Odontoblastic

  4. Ectodermal

The correct answer is: Odontoblastic

Internal root resorption is the result of damage to the odontoblastic layer of the pulp. The odontoblasts, which are responsible for producing dentin, are located in this layer and when damaged, can lead to resorption of the tooth's structure. Cementoblastic, fibroblastic, and ectodermal layers are not responsible for dentin production and are therefore incorrect choices.
