    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_odontoclastic...

    Feline odontoclastic resorption lesion (FORL) is a syndrome in cats characterized by resorption of the tooth by odontoclasts, cells similar to osteoclasts. FORL has also been called Feline tooth resorption ( TR ), neck lesion , cervical neck lesion , cervical line erosion , feline subgingival resorptive lesion , feline caries , or feline cavity .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_resorption

    External cervical resorption is a localised resorptive lesion in the cervical area of the tooth, below the epithelial attachment. It is distinguished from external inflammatory root resorption in that it rarely involves the pulp. When at least 3 teeth are affected, it is referred to as multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption.

    They address various conditions such as jaw fractures, malocclusions of the teeth, oral cancer, periodontal disease, and unique veterinary conditions like feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions. Additionally, some animals have specialized dental workers like equine dental technicians, who perform routine dental work on horses.

  5. Osteoclast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoclast

    In cats, abnormal odontoclast activity can cause feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions, necessitating extraction of the affected teeth. Osteoclasts play a major role in orthodontic tooth movement and pathologic migration of periodontally compromised teeth.

  6. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    These lesions can grow large because they apply pressure over the bone, causing resorption. The toxins released by the breakdown of granulation tissue are one of the common causes of bone resorption. There are two schools of thought regarding cyst expansion. [5] Complementary response to inflammation; Chemical reaction with Interleukin and ...

  7. Idiopathic osteosclerosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_osteosclerosis

    Idiopathic osteosclerosis, also known as enostosis or dense bone island, is a condition which may be found around the roots of a tooth, usually a premolar or molar. [2] It is usually painless and found during routine radiographs as an amorphous radiopaque (light) area around a tooth.

  8. Tooth ankylosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_ankylosis

    For growing patients, decoronation is used. Decoronation is the removal of tooth crown. [5] It serves as an alternative surgery for tooth extraction. It is recommended over extraction because it limits bone resorption and therefore maintains a sufficient growth of alveolar bone to enable tooth implantation [citation needed]. Decoronation can be ...
