<\/p>\nDental trauma is more common in dogs than we usually imagine. A bad jump, a fall during play, a hit with a hard object, or even a fight with another animal can cause significant damage to their teeth\u2014especially the canines, which are more exposed.<\/p>\n
In many cases, the fracture doesn\u2019t just affect the visible part of the tooth, but can also expose the pulp canal, a very sensitive area containing nerves and blood vessels. This exposure, aside from being extremely painful for the animal, can become a direct pathway for infections, putting not only the tooth but the overall health of the patient at risk.<\/p>\n
Today we\u2019re sharing the case of Multik, an almost 3-year-old pup who came to IVeM after suffering trauma to his upper left canine. Thanks to a quick diagnosis and a conservative treatment approach, we were able to save his tooth and restore his smile.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What Treatment Did We Perform?<\/strong> First, we performed a complete pulpectomy (root canal therapy) to remove all the pulp tissue, carefully cleaning the canal. Then, we took digital impressions of the tooth to design a custom solution. Finally, we fabricated and placed a zirconia crown\u2014a highly durable, biocompatible, and aesthetic material. This way, Multik not only regained full functionality of the tooth, but also kept his beautiful smile intact.<\/p>\n What Should We Keep in Mind in Case of a Tooth Fracture?<\/strong> Multik is now fully recovered and can continue enjoying his active life\u2014playing and chewing like normal. Cases like his remind us of the importance of veterinary dentistry for our pets\u2019 well-being.<\/p>\n Do you have questions about your pet\u2019s dental health?
