Abstract: | Scanning electron microscopy was carried out on 10 feline extracted permanent teeth from 3 cases with root resorption. Various-sized resorption lacunae were well defined, showing an etched pattern and configuration as shown in human deciduous teeth. In cats, regardless of the shape and depth of lacunae, the resorption lacunae showed opening dentinal tubules in the wall with or without cement matrix apperring only in the deep and round lacunae of human cases. Some specific process of mineralization for repairing dental root resorption was suggested in cats. |
