Treatment for FORLs is limited to tooth extraction because the lesion is progressive. Amputation of the tooth crown without root removal has also been advocated in cases demonstrated on a radiograph to be type 2 resorption without associated periodontal or endodontic disease because the roots are being replaced by bone.

Feline calicivirus infection in a cat, showing ulceration over the rostral end of tongue and secondary gingivitis, faucitis and ptyalism. Note that rhinitis is also present. Clinical signs in cats infected with FCV may develop acutely, chronically, or not at all.
[3] [5] Periodontal diseases are prevalent in cats of all ages and have the potential to further develop into local and/or systemic diseases. [3] If oral hygiene is not supported and periodontal disease develops, the overall health of the animal is affected. [3] [4] Oral disease is not a new problem for cats.

Periapical periodontitis may develop into a periapical abscess, where a collection of pus forms at the end of the root, the consequence of spread of infection from the tooth pulp (odontogenic infection), or into a periapical cyst, where an epithelial lined, fluid-filled structure forms.
Chronic periodontitis is initiated by Gram-negative tooth-associated microbial biofilms that elicit a host response, which results in bone and soft tissue destruction. In response to endotoxin derived from periodontal pathogens, several osteoclast-related mediators target the destruction of alveolar bone and supporting connective tissue such as the periodontal ligament.
To help your cat make good choices, it may be helpful to temporarily make the window over the counter unappealing, such as by closing the blinds or placing a layer of privacy window film over it.
Necrotizing periodontal diseases are non-contagious infections but may occasionally occur in epidemic-like patterns due to shared risk factors. The milder form, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (also termed "trench mouth"), [9] is characterized by painful, bleeding gums and ulceration and necrosis of the interdental papilla.
