This paper was performed in two phases. In the first, the stability of acrylic resin over the teeth of dogs without enamel acid conditioning, and the clinical and histological reaction on the ginigiva were analysed in periods of 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days. The second phase was conducted in 20 dogs ...

Multiple mandibular fractures can be conveniently treated by a conservative approach, particularly when caudal mandibular portions, condyle and vertical ramus, are involved.

Twenty-one mandibular fractures in 11 cats and 6 dogs were repaired during a 20-month period. A new technique using dental composite was used to stabilize the mandible. The canine teeth were pumiced, acid etched, and aligned with dental composite, leaving the mouth opened approximately 1 cm. Six...

A Sumatran tiger had developed severely abraded canine teeth by biting on cage-bars. This resulted in weakening and marked sensitivity of the teeth. Indications for, techniques of, and complications of restorative dental treatments are described. The outcome of different restorative dental...
