“…Our results confirm therefore an important influence of the amount of the produced dental tissue (secondary dentin) on the strength of teeth, particularly in young dogs. Bhaskar and Rappaport (1971) described low numbers of periapical lesions in incisor and canine fractures. Our observations showed the presence of periapical lesions in 3 (3.3%) out of 90 incisor and canine fractures.…”

Capík I., V. Ledeck˘, A. ·evãík: Tooth Fracture Evaluation and Endodontic Treatment in Dogs. Acta Vet. Brno 2000, 69: 115-122. Tooth fractures constitute a considerable fraction of all tooth diseaes. Out of 5370 dogs treated during four years, 492 (9%) patients were treated for dental problems. Out of this number, 139 (28.3%) dogs were treated for tooth fractures. The most frequently affected teeth were canines, 54 cases (38.8%) succeeded by 46 premolar teeth (33.1%), 36 incisors (25.9%) and 3 molars (2.2%). From among the patients with canine and incisor fractures, 61 (67.7%) were large breed dogs. Frontal teeth fractures occurred during training, guard and police work or in play. On the other hand, the premolar fractures (especially 108, 208) were divided evenly among large and medium (small) breeds.The results of nonsurgical endodontic treatment showed 100% success with incisors and canines. Periapical lesions were seen infrequently in the above-mentioned teeth. Out of 24 endodonticaly treated incisors and canines with necrotic pulp the periapical lesions were present only in 3 cases (12.5%).Fractures of upper fourth premolars were divided evenly among large (15 dogs with 18 fractures), medium (small) breeds (21 dogs with 23 fractures). Higher incidence of crown damage (fracture line reaching subgingival tooth portion) was observed in large breed dogs (82.3%) as compared to medium and small breeds (37.5%). X-ray examinations showed a high number of periapical lesions (37 -90.2%). The distal root alone was involved in 20 teeth (48.8%). Radiolucencies in distal and mesial regions were observed in 11 teeth (26.8%). The mesial region was involved in 6 teeth (14.6%).All patients without local complications (swelling, fistula) were treated successfully (100%). Out of 12 cases accompanied with local complications (4 swellings, 8 fistulas) failure was recorded in 4 cases (33.3%). The fistulas were closed within one week. Despite a considerable incidence of root lesion the results of standard endodontic treatment were good. Standard root canal therapy, performed repeatedly following a relapse, yielded mostly good therapeutic results. Fistula, swelling, age, breeds, periapical lesionsTooth fractures occurring predominantly as crown and cup fractures, or buccolingual (palatolingual) slab fractures, are common diagnosis in veterinary dentistry.According to Eisenmenger and Zetner (1985), and Harvey and Emily (1993), the prevalence of tooth fractures is influenced by two factors:-anatomical position and the height of the tooth -the use and activity of dogs The diagnosis of endodontic lesions in veterinary dentistry is complicated by the lack of diagnostic procedures based on subjective symptoms of pain, sensitivity to hot, cold, or percussion, and foul taste or odour. Holmberg (1979) described pain symptoms in dogs such as salivation, holding head aside, and pawing, especially after eating. Schmeltzer et al. (1980) did not observe any clinical signs of pain with pulp-affected tooth fractures.The majority of to...

“…Although radiographic examination is an important resource in clinical diagnosis, it is rarely helpful in the diagnosis of small areas of external root resorption associated with teeth having apical periodontitis (Bhaskar & Rappaport 1971, Ferlini Filho 1999, Laux et al . 2000).…”

In the sample of extracted teeth investigated, 24.5% of the periapical lesions were cysts. Most periapical lesions (84.3%) displayed acute inflammation, whether cystic or not. Periforaminal resorption was present in 87.3% of the cases, and foraminal resorption in 83.2%. Periforaminal and foraminal resorptions were independent entities. There was no association between external root resorption and the nature of the periapical lesions.

“…Perforations are a relatively common cause of endodontic failure. When left untreated, perforation of the pulpal floor results in an inflammatory response in the supporting tissues, with epithelial proliferation and eventual periodontal pocket formation (Lantz & Persson 1967, Bhasker & Rappaport 1971, ElDeeb et al . 1982, Jew et al .…”

“…Another important factor appears to be the ability of the repair material to seal the defect. Many materials have been advocated (Lantz & Persson 1970, Seltzer et al . 1970, Bhasker & Rappaport 1971, ElDeeb et al .…”
