Many feline resorptive lesions are easily diagnosed by clinical oral examination, whereas others require dental radiographs. Radiographs can reveal the presence of resorption, and often the nature of the resorptive process as well. Removal of affected teeth when they cause discomfort, or of the portion of the tooth causing the discomfort, remains the only treatment that provides long-term resolution. Until we understand the etiology of the inciting causes and of the factors contributing to the progression of resorptive lesions, reliable prevention cannot be offered.
许多猫的吸收性病变通过临床口腔检查很容易诊断出来，而其他一些则需要牙科X光片。X光片可以显示吸收的存在，并且通常还能显示吸收过程的性质。当患牙引起不适时，拔除患牙或拔除引起不适的牙齿部分，仍然是提供长期解决办法的唯一治疗方法。在我们了解引发原因以及导致吸收性病变进展的因素的病因之前，无法提供可靠的预防措施。
