what is this showing?

large concave root shape → the buccal aspect and lingual aspect

11
New cards
<p>what is this?</p>

what is this?

% attachment loss → 11/15 = 0.73 or 73%

12

original alveolar margin

13
New cards
<p>what is the red dotted line?</p>

what is the red dotted line?

alveolar margin after periodontal disease attachment loss

14
New cards

attachment loss on mandibular incisor radiographs are often over estimated due to

lack of mineralization around mandibular symphysis

endodontic disease

  • asymmetrically large root canal and pulp chamber

33
New cards

tooth resorption type 1

  • periodontal ligament space apparent

  • extract tooth

  • use open, surgical technique


34
New cards
<p>what type of tooth resorption is this?</p>

what type of tooth resorption is this?

type 1

35
New cards

tooth resorption type 2

  • narrowing or disappearance of the periodontal ligament space in at least some areas

  • decreased radiopacity of part of the tooth

  • crown amputation with intentional root retention indicated


36
New cards
<p>what type of tooth resorption is this?</p>

what type of tooth resorption is this?

type 2

37
New cards
<p>what type of tooth resorption is this?</p>

what type of tooth resorption is this?

  • type 3

  • top arrow → extract the root-segment

  • bottom arrow → crown amputation for this root segment


38
New cards

tooth resorption in dogs

  • most seen in mandibular premolars

  • often begins in the roots

  • may be internal or external resorption

  • if it doesn’t extend near or above the level of gingiva, can monitor

  • if it extends into crown or is communicating with oral cavity, extract → painful

  • roots can be ankylosed


39
New cards
<p>what is this showing?</p>

what is this showing?

tooth resorption

40
New cards
<p>what is this?</p>

what is this?

fractured root tips discovered prior to extraction

41
New cards
<p>what is this image showing?</p>

what is this image showing?

  • dilacerated mesial root

  • apex of mesial very close to ventral cortex of mandible

  • fracture risk!


42
New cards
<p>what is this showing?</p>

what is this showing?

calculus is the only thing holding the tooth in
