Feline dental radiography and radiology

“…35,36 All dental pathology including missing teeth, fractured teeth (AVDC tooth fracture classification system) 37 and intrinsically stained teeth (non-vital teeth), worn teeth (abrasion and attrition), periodontal indices (gingival recession, furcation exposure, mobility, and periodontal probing depths) were evaluated. [38][39][40] For all cases, examination findings and intraoral radiographs were reviewed by the principal investigator. A Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College (KS) performed all oral examinations (15 cases) when present in the UMN-VMC.…”

The role of odontogenic infection as an etiology for lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis in dogs was evaluated. An association between odontogenic infection and inflammatory rhinitis was identified in 55% of cases evaluated. Odontogenic infection was unlikely or undetermined in 10% and 35% of the cases, respectively. Cases of lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis had roentgen signs associated with endodontic disease, periodontal disease, or retained tooth roots in 60%, 45%, and 25% of the cases, respectively. A collaborative team based approach assessing inflammatory nasal disease is recommended. Based on the history and signalment of the individual patient, diagnostic modalities should be chosen wisely. In some cases, oral examination and intraoral radiographs may be a more direct and cost effective approach for diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory rhinitis.

“…An erosive process is observed in the tooth structure (Girard et al 2010). Formerly referred to as "feline caries", the tooth resorption lesion (LRD), is characterized by erosion in the hard tissues of the tooth and probably reaching the pulp region (Niemiec 2014). In our study, we observed in the PD group, a variable degree of bone loss in the alveoli, in the mildest cases, related to periapical lesions, resulting from the chronic inflammatory process (Bellows 2010), and even bone reduction in the mandible, which could lead to the occurrence of fractures.…”

Periodontal disease and its complications in cats from a shelter in the Central Region of Rio Grande do Sul

et al. 2020

Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease that occurs in feline patients. Although it occurs in both sexes, different age groups, and any breeds, the prevalence and severity seem much higher in cats living in animal shelters. This paper aimed to describe the clinical, radiological, cytopathological, and virological aspects of periodontal disease and its complications in cats, based on these aspects and, consequently, on the importance it brings to cat feline medicine in shelter cats. For this, nine cats with periodontal disease from a single animal shelter were evaluated. These cats demonstrated a disease characterized by halitosis, excessive salivation, and oral discomfort. Lymphadenomegaly of the mandibular and retropharyngeal lymph nodes was observed in 44.4% of the cases. Oral lesions consisted of varying degrees of gingival hyperemia, complete loss of free gingival margins, and consequently gingival retraction, dental calculus deposition, dental mobility, complete exposure of the furcation of premolars and molars, and dental roots of canines and incisors, loss of bone radiopacity due to alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. Complications included chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis (22.2%), faucitis (22.2%), and chronic gingivostomatitis (11.1%). None of the cats affected by periodontal disease was positive for FIV or FeLV. In 33.3% of the cases, cats were carriers of feline calicivirus, but not feline herpesvirus.
