Although necrobacillosis remains a common condition of captive macropods, there have been limited reports of successful treatment modalities by which it can be treated. Comprehensive endodontic therapy with apicoectomy has been used reliably in human and domestic animal dentistry. This report describes a case of periapical osteomyelitis involving a mandibular incisor in a Parma wallaby (Macropus parma) that was successfully treated using these techniques in conjunction with low-level laser therapy at 810 nm, which was used for decontamination of the pulp cavity, anti-inflammatory, and biostimulatory effects.
尽管坏死杆菌病仍是圈养有袋目动物的常见病症，但关于其成功治疗方式的报道却很有限。在人类和家畜牙科中，根尖切除术的综合牙髓治疗已得到可靠应用。本报告描述了一例涉及帕尔马小袋鼠（Macropus parma）下颌切牙的根尖周骨髓炎病例，该病例通过这些技术结合810纳米的低强度激光治疗成功治愈，低强度激光治疗用于牙髓腔消毒、抗炎和生物刺激作用。
