Objectives To create a replacement nasolacrimal system, using the puncta and canaliculi, with prolonged implant retention and minimal use of Elizabethan collars or other restraint devices. Materials and Methods The method was used in 11 dogs and two cats. Silicone tubing was placed through both canaliculi and, via a drill hole, into the nasal cavity. Distally, the tubing ends were tied in a subcutaneous pocket lateral to the premaxilla. Tubing retention time was 4 to 7 months. Elizabethan collars were used only until skin suture removal at 2 weeks. Results In all animals, a functional nasolacrimal system was re‐created and remained patent over prolonged follow‐up periods. Adverse effects and complications were mild. Clinical significance The described method is relatively straightforward, thereby making relief of tear outflow problems widely accessible.

“…In fact, to the authors' knowledge, only one other veterinary report describes nasolacrimal disease in relation to an unerupted tooth. 3 In contrast, this is well documented in human medicine. 4 The aim of this article is to discuss the diagnostic path in order to help practitioners faced with a case of epiphora and unerupted teeth efficiently arrive at a diagnosis, and once defined, to understand the aetiology, underlying factors and management options of their patient.…”

“…25 However, they can occur at any location. 3 Cases reported in the human literature often describe discomfort or dull pain associated with ectopic dental structures. [26][27][28] In this case report and in the veterinary literature, patients generally do not appear to exhibit signs of pain.…”

Nasolacrimal duct disease secondary to an unerupted tooth in a dog

A 5-year-old male neutered Lurcher was evaluated for left-sided epiphora of 4 months' duration and persistence following topical treatment and nasolacrimal duct irrigation. Physical examination revealed a missing left maxillary canine tooth, and CT dacryocystorhinography showed extrinsic compression of the left lacrimal duct and adjacent nasal turbinates caused by an impacted maxillary canine tooth. Further irrigation was successful in clearing debris from the nasolacrimal duct and temporarily relieving the patient of epiphora; however, surgical extraction of the tooth and radiographic monitoring was declined by the owner. Ophthalmic disorders may be secondary to overlooked dental conditions. This case describes the importance of inspecting the oral cavity as part of a general physical examination when presented with ocular signs, as well as assessing impacted teeth for evidence of pathology, and being aware of sequelae to dental impaction when advising clients on case management.

RESUMO A persistência de dentes decíduos é uma condição comum e acomete principalmente cães de raças pequenas e miniaturas. Pode levar a diversas alterações orais, sendo indicada a extração desses dentes decíduos persistentes. Dentes inclusos são aqueles cuja erupção não ocorreu, e devem ser extraídos para evitar complicações como a formação de cistos odontogênicos. Os cães braquicéfalos são os mais suscetíveis, e o cisto dentígero é o cisto odontogênico mais comum em cães. Mesmo sendo benigno, pode alcançar tamanhos significativos, levando a diversas alterações locais. Este artigo relata um de caso sobre persistência de três dentes decíduos e presença de dois dentes inclusos, sendo um deles associado a um cisto dentígero, em um cão Shuh-Tzu adulto. Discute-se diagnóstico, tratamento cirúrgico e evolução do caso. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: exodontia, extração dental, odontologia, odontologia veterinária.

Dacryocystitis following a nasolacrimal duct obstruction caused by an ectopic intranasal tooth in a dog

Abstract: This is the first case report describing a blocked NLD due to an ectopic tooth in a dog. Ectopic teeth should be included as a differential diagnosis in cases of dacryocystitis and chronic epiphora in dogs.
