Combined Type I and Type II Tooth Resorption in a Cat

by Brett on Jun.22, 2010, under Veterinary Dental Cases

This is the same cat as seen in the previous post.   Tooth 307 has both type I (mesial root) and type II tooth resorption.  The distal root is replaced by bone and there are no endodontic changes.   Therefore crown amputation is possible.  The mesial root however is surrounded by a distinct periodontal ligament space and must be extracted.

Type II Tooth Resorption in a Cat Canine Tooth

by Brett on Jun.15, 2010, under Veterinary Dental Cases

This cat has type II tooth resorption with severe proliferation of a portion of the crown on the right canine tooth. The cusp was lost when the technician bumped the tooth during induction. Crown amputation and intentional root retention can only be done in cases like this were the tooth root bears no surrounding periodontal ligament, there is no endodontic disease and the root is being replaced by bone grossly and radiographically.

Exotic cat with eosinophilic granuloma and wry bite (mandibular asynchrony)

by Brett on Mar.29, 2010, under Veterinary Dental Cases

This cat presented for lingual floor trauma secondary to the left maxillary canine tooth.  A proliferative ulcerative lesion was present in the left caudal mucosa unassociated with the malocclusion.  A biopsy confirmed eosinophilic granuloma.  Prednisone at 1 mg/kg BID was initiated.  The patient is scheduled for reevaluation in April and orthodontic appliance application to move the canine caudally.   A bite block will be required to allow caudal movement.

Mandibulectomy in a Cat

by Brett on Feb.06, 2010, under Veterinary Dental Cases

This cat presented with profound disfigurement from a rostral mandibular mass.  Salvage excision and euthanasia were the options provided.  The mass was excised and postoperative and next day images shown.  This cat has full tongue function despite taking the mandible back to the level of the first molars at the base of the tongue.  He is learning how to eat and doing quite well 3 days postop.
