Feline dental implants are becoming a predictable and viable treatment option for the replacement of lost canines due to maxillary Alveolar Osteitis (AO) a painful condition, commonly experienced by a growing number of cats. Surgical extraction and debridement remains the treatment of choice for this complex inflammatory process. However, future complications can be a common sequela of maxillary canine loss. This case will demonstrate the successful surgical extraction of a maxillary canine with implant placement following the osseodensification protocol and utilizing the sockets osteitis buttressing bone formation to promote a positive result with final crown restoration 13 weeks following implant placement.

This review describes the clinical, radiographic and histologic characteristics of dentinogenesis imperfecta diagnosed in two unrelated young dogs without evidence of concurrent osteogenesis imperfecta. The dentition was noted to have generalized coronal discoloration ranging from grey-blue to golden brown. Clinical pulp exposure, coronal wear and fractures were observed as was radiographic evidence of endodontic disease, thin dentin walls or dystrophic obliteration of the pulp canal. The enamel was severely affected by attrition and abrasion despite histologically normal areas; loss was most likely due to poor adherence or support by the underlying abnormal dentin. Histologically, permanent and deciduous teeth examined showed thin, amorphous dentin without organized dentin tubules and odontoblasts had dysplastic cell morphology. Primary dentin disorders, including dentinogenesis imperfecta and dentin dysplasia, have been extensively studied and genetically characterized in humans but infrequently reported in dogs. Treatment in human patients is aimed at early recognition and multi-disciplinary intervention to restore and maintain normal occlusion, aesthetics, mastication and speech. Treatment in both humans and canine patients is discussed as is the documented genetic heritability of primary dentin disorders in humans.

Dental implants are not routinely used for rehabilitation in veterinary dentistry. For some veterinarians, further studies are necessary to be considered for clinical use in animals. The objective of the present in vitro study was to evaluate static fatigue of dental implants and to correlate that with the bite strength of dogs described in the literature. Sixty implants and abutments were used with the smallest diameter of each brand of implant utilized in the study. Three groups ( n = 20) were created on the basis of the implant diameter, all with external hex connector: 3.30 mm (group 1), 4.0 mm (group 2) and 5.0 mm (group 3). All groups were subjected to quasi-static loading at 30° to the implant's long axis in a universal machine (model AME-5 kN). The mean fracture strength for group 1 was 964 ± 187 N, for group 2 was 1618 ± 149 N and for group 3 was 2595 ± 161 N. Significant differences between the groups with respect to resistance after the load applications were observed ( P < .05). The diameter of implants affects the resistance to external forces during the application of non-axial strength (off-axis loading) and must be considered during the planning of rehabilitation to avoid problems.
