Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
What was the study design?
Case control study. recruited 71 cats, performed oral exam and rads.
split into a TR group (41) and a no TR group (30)
looked at risk factors based on patient data and an owner survey

How much did gingivitis scores increase the risk of TR?
- 22.1 times for TR in cats with GI 1
- 8.5 times in cats with GI 2
- 4.5 times for cats with GI 3

Which teeth were most commonly affected in this study?
mandibular third premolars 307, 407 - 10% of all lesions each tooth
followed closely by mandibular molars 309, 409 - 9% of all lesions each tooth

indoor/outdoor had no impact

What was found with regards to retroviral status?
In the absence of oral inflammation, retroviral infection does not seem to trigger TR.
