“…Além disso, é possível desenvolver doença ocular secundária, como observado nas chinchilas deste estudo, que desenvolveram conjuntivite purulenta devido à contaminação bacteriana secundária. Em outras espécies animais, como cães e gatos, manifestações oculares de doença dentária incluem sinais orbitários, periorbitários, conjuntivais, nasolacrimais, neuro-oftalmológicos, e até mesmo sinais uveias (RAMSEY et al, 1996). Em coelhos, o bloqueio do canal lacrimal é uma das consequências mais comuns da doença dentária; essa alteração é denominada dacriocistite (COOPER, 2011).…”

A two-year-old Jack Russell terrier was diagnosed with a retrobulbar abscess and orbital cellulitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging examination and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. Transoral ventral drainage was attempted but was unsuccessful. The abscess was successfully treated by open drainage through a lateral orbitotomy. Despite the exposure of the orbital structures, the orbital soft tissues healed by second intention without further complications. The open drainage was well tolerated and resulted in immediate reduction of inflammation and pain, allowing a quick recovery. This report describes the diagnosis and, surgical management and the long-term (3 years) follow-up of an unusual case of orbital abscess associated with diffuse periorbital cellulitis successfully treated by open drainage through a lateral orbitotomy.

Periodontal disease with > 50 % attachment loss is likely the most common indicator for tooth extraction. Mobility is often present and associated with substantial periodontal attachment loss. However, the absence of mobility does not rule out progressive periodontal disease. Intrinsically stained teeth are non-vital in up to 92.2 % of discolored teeth. 1 Trauma can result in crown fractures with endodontic involvement. Carious disease can extend into the pulp cavity. Carious lesions commonly occur in maxillary molar teeth. 2 When endodontic treatment is not a viable option for these insults or is declined by the pet owner, extraction is indicated.It is mandatory that dental radiographs be taken prior to performing a surgical extraction. The information gained from dental radiographs will provide the surgeon a wealth of vital information regarding the condition of surrounding alveolar bone, the presence of ankylosis, and variations in root anatomy (Fig. 1). Exodontia of both maxillary molar teeth will often be indicated, but it is not uncommon for just the first molar tooth to be removed or the second molar tooth to be already extracted or missing.Regional anesthesia should be performed to aid intra-and postoperative analgesia and decrease the amounts of other anesthetic agents needed for the procedure, particularly inhalant anesthetics. The caudal superior alveolar nerve innervates the maxillary molar teeth. It is a branch of the infraorbital nerve prior to its entrance into the caudal aspect of the infraorbital canal. Multiple regional anesthesia techniques exist that will affect maxillary molar tooth sensation. The scope of this article does not allow discussion of these techniques, but the reader is referred to sources that provide a detailed review. [3][4][5] Extraction of the maxillary molar teeth in the canine is frequently performed in veterinary dentistry. Extraction of these teeth can be quite challenging and is commonly associated with potential complications. 6,7 Appropriate surgical technique is vital for their successful extraction.The anatomic location of the maxillary molar teeth makes visualization and access to the area challenging. The first molar tooth is always larger than the second molar tooth. They each have 3 diverging roots in a tripod configuration that lie within the maxillary bone in close proximity to the ventral orbit. 6,8 The palatal root, though wider, is shorter than the buccal roots. 9 The caudal maxillary arcade extends between the third maxillary premolar and second molar teeth. This arch is more drastic in brachycephalic breeds. In the author's opinion, this anatomic variation makes visualization and access to the maxillary molar teeth more challenging in brachycephalic breeds (Fig. 2).Indications for exodontia of the maxillary molar teeth are numerous and the decision to extract is not always clear-cut. A complete oral examination with dental radiographs is mandatory to determine if exodontia is appropriate. Prior to performing extraction, the veterinarian should endeavor to...
