Feline Dentistry
Cats display several unique conditions when it comes to the oral cavity, even though the basic concepts of periodontal disease apply.

Tooth resorptions are also challenging and frequently require extraction as well.

Intraoral radiology is being recognized as an essential part of dental practice, needed in nearly aspect of dentistry, from proper evaluation of periodontal disease to pre- and post-extraction films.

  • Hints on initial evaluation of dental radiographs
  • A practical dental radiograph reading session

 

Basic Oral Surgery
As part of basic oral surgery, extractions can be time-consuming and frustrating if the right steps are not taken. From pain management to specific steps of gingival flaps, sectioning teeth and elevating, by using the right tools and right steps, extractions can have less complications and more success. In addition, these basic skills of oral surgery can be used to provide appropriate treatment for conditions such as oronasal fistulas and gingival hyperplasia.
