The root of a tooth will sometimes dissolve on its own. This usually leads to the destruction of the tooth and the necessity for its removal.
The anatomical root refers to the part of a tooth that is embedded in the jawbone. The clinical root is the part of the tooth that is visible and extends above the gum line. Together, the anatomical and clinical roots provide stability to the tooth and support the surrounding structures.
A shedded primary tooth root is usually small, slender, and cone-shaped. It may appear slightly curved and have a smooth surface. The root may be light in color and can vary in length depending on the type of tooth it belonged to.
The part of the tooth that fits into the socket of the jaw(mandible) or maxilla(for upper teeth) is the "root" of the tooth.
If this tooth has become weakened, or if it is more brittle (such as post root canal) it is susceptible to a break at the root. You could have chewed something extra hard, or exposed the tooth to rapid temperature change. It means the tooth was in a weakened state to begin with.
An inflamed or infected tooth root may or may not respond to antibiotics. The standard treatment is a "root canal" procedure (pulpectomy) wherein the living root is removed and replaced with inert material. Since this will prevent the tooth enamel from being maintained, a concurrent dental crown (cap) procedure is generally done.

Depends. If you are having a tooth extracted by a dentist, the root will be removed. If it is a baby tooth you are losing naturally, the roots will dissolve as the new tooth is coming up under the old tooth.
It depends on the type of stitches they used, but more often times than not, they dissolve.
The Latin root for tooth is "dens" or "dentis."
The stiches should dissolve over the next couple of days on their own - they are not removed.
The root of a healthy tooth has an outside surface called cementum.

The nerve can not regenerate in a tooth, instead what is left of it will eventually die. You would be better off having the root canal treatment completed and if it is a back tooth you NEED a crown on the tooth to prevent breaking the tooth in the future. The tissue inside a tooth cannot be regrown after root canal therapy. But you can keep your tooth all your life if the root canal is well done and well restaured, and if you brush your teeth well. In the future, they may be able to harvest your own stem cells and implant the cells into your jawbone. This would heal or possibly regrow dead or missing teeth.
enamel found only in the crown of the tooth ( the exposed part of the tooth ), dentin found in both the crown and the root of the tooth ( root : the embedded part of the tooth ) and cement which hold the tooth in it's place
