Kratka vsebina

Feline tooth resorption is one of the most common dental disorders in cats, characterized by a progressive loss of tooth substance. The aetiology of this disease is not completely understood. Multiple factors may play a role in etiopathogenesis of this disease, such as: age, diet, chronic oral inflammation, metabolic and endocrine diseases, anatomical ab-normalities. Based on radiographic appearance, resorptive lesions are classified into three types. Several symptoms accompany this disease, including anorexia, dysphagia, halito-sis and oral discomfort. Tooth resorption can be detected with a combination of visual inspection, examination under general anesthesia with a sharp dental explorer and in-traoral dental radiography. Treatment of option is extraction of the affected teeth, and crown amputation in teeth with type 2 lesions.
