Q

3 primary patterns of canine tooth resorption**

A

1) internal resorption - starts in root canal, tooth may turn pink
2) idiopathic bony replacement (external) resorption - starts apically, common in premolars

Q

Chars. Of tooth resorption in CATS**

A
  • odontoclasts resorb cementum
  • mandibular 3rd premolar first involved in 80% of cases
  • can cause ankylosis and tooth destruction as alveolar bone fuses to cementum, periodontal ligament lost
  • crown amputation possible if there is ankylosis and NO stomatitis

Q

Therapy process for stomatitis in cats**

A
  • thorough prophy
  • abx, analgesics, and anti-inflammatories
