Comments on: Root canal therapy was performed in this dog 5 years prior. The right mandibular canine has a void in the apex and periapical lucency right mandibular canine. http://veterinarydentistry.net/blog/2009/05/26/hello-world/ Veterinary Dental Cases & Courses Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:09:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ozgur http://veterinarydentistry.net/blog/2009/05/26/hello-world/comment-page-1/#comment-42 Ozgur Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:29:58 +0000 http:/?p=1#comment-42 Dr. Beckman, I finally found peace from that tooth.

Placing the patient in dorsal recumbency and making a wedge shaped incision just lateral to midline over the assumed position of the apex of the mandibular canine root. The soft tissue is then dissected to expose the bone over the position of the affected apex. I have never performed this procedure before, but if I was to attempt the procedure, I would use a 25 gauge needle and dental radiography to evaluate the position of the needle to the apex of the affected root. I am sure there is a better way to evaluate the position of the apex. The Wiggs and Lobprise test explained the procedure, but I was unable to find any specific information on landmarks that would be useful in isolating the apex. Do you have any suggestions?
