Tooth resorption is a progressive disease that leads to loss or destruction of teeth. It is somewhat common in dogs, but we usually can’t see it with the naked eye. Instead, we often observe it through X-rays of the teeth.
The recognition and treatment of external and internal tooth resorption in dogs are important for overall health and comfort. In this case there is a distinct periodontal ligament space seen radiographically so extraction of both roots is indicated.
Tooth resorption is a common disease in dogs and represents the loss of tooth structure. It occurs when the body removes tissue that contains minerals. As a progressive disease, it leads...
In recent years, there has been an increase in the research of canine tooth root resorption – a process in which part or parts of the tooth are destroyed by physiologic processes gone awry – as a cause of dental disease.
Tooth resorption was classified in accordance with radiographic criteria described for use in humans. Patient signalment and concurrent dental conditions were recorded and tabulated. Results —Tooth resorption was detected in 120 of 224 (53.6%) dogs and 943 of 8,478 (11.1%) teeth.
Three types of tooth resorption are recognized in cats: Type 1 (T1): The tooth retains normal density and the periodontal ligament space is unchanged. Resorption tends to originate at the cementoenamel junction and will destroy the tooth in a coronal direction, an apical direction, or both.
Tooth resorption is common in cats and, because of increased use of intraoral radiology, is clinically emerging in dogs. Recognition and treatment of tooth resorption in dogs is essential.
You're likely dealing with canine tooth resorption, a painful condition affecting up to 54% of dogs, and want to know how to manage it effectively. Tooth resorption erodes the dentin, leading to irreversible destruction, and can occur in any tooth.
Tooth resorption in dogs is a painful condition in which the teeth become destroyed below the gum line and then absorbed into the bony socket that houses them. It’s more common in middle-aged or older large-breed dogs , and the cause of the problem has proved very evasive.
There are seven types of tooth resorption in dogs, as determined by radiographic appearance: external surface resorption, external replacement resorption, external inflammatory resorption, external cervical
