Tooth Resorption in the Canine Tooth of a Cat

This 10 year old domestic short haired cat was referred for oral evaluation and likely tooth resorption and missing teeth this week.  The procedure for crown amputation show here applies to only Type II resorption.  As you can see there is no discernable periodontal ligament space around the root that is in the final stages of replacement with bone.  5-0 monocryl was used to close.  As always regional nerve blocks are employed.
