Feline tooth resorption (odontoclastic resorptive lesion) is a common and important issue in veterinary dentistry. This study aimed to analyse the disease's severity and correlation with clinical information in the population of feline patients in Poland in the area of Lower Silesia. An analysis of the clinical charts of 174 cats with dental problems, which were diagnosed as tooth resorption, was conducted. The gender and breed had no influence on the disease severity, but the disease progressed with age. The lesions were mostly encountered within the third and fourth maxillary premolars (107, 108, 207, 208) and mandibular molars (309, 409). No direct correlation was found between the presence or severity of the disease and the clinical signs of affected cats. The study shows that feline tooth resorption is a common issue in feline dentistry and should be taken into account in all cases of animals with any signs of oral disease, including gingivitis and/or dental plaque with preserved appetite. A careful intraoral radiographic examination is essential to avoid false negative results in ambiguous cases.
猫牙吸收（破牙细胞性吸收性病变）是兽医牙科中一个常见且重要的问题。本研究旨在分析波兰下西里西亚地区猫科动物患者群体中该疾病的严重程度及其与临床信息的相关性。对174只被诊断为牙吸收的有牙齿问题的猫的临床病历进行了分析。性别和品种对疾病严重程度没有影响，但疾病会随着年龄的增长而发展。病变大多出现在上颌第三和第四前磨牙（107、108、207、208）以及下颌磨牙（309、409）。未发现疾病的存在或严重程度与患病猫的临床症状之间存在直接关联。该研究表明，猫牙吸收是猫牙科中的一个常见问题，在所有有任何口腔疾病迹象的动物病例中都应予以考虑，包括牙龈发炎和/或有食欲但存在牙菌斑的情况。仔细的口腔内X光检查对于避免在不明确的病例中出现假阴性结果至关重要。
