Abstract

The endodontic therapy used on an African lion was similar to procedures performed on humans and other exotic animals with the same condition. The procedure involved removal of the pulpal tissue to the apex of the root in three canine teeth. The internal aspect of the root canal was sterilized and filled with a rubber-like material (gutta percha) which was cemented in place. Chrome cobalt alloy crowns were fabricated and cemented to the top two canine teeth. The lower canine tooth received a silver amalgam restoration.

摘要

对一只非洲狮进行的牙髓治疗与对患有相同病症的人类和其他外来动物所进行的治疗程序相似。该程序包括在三颗犬齿中，将牙髓组织清除至牙根尖端。根管内部进行了消毒，并用一种橡胶状材料（牙胶）填充，该材料用黏固剂固定到位。制作了铬钴合金牙冠并黏固到上面两颗犬齿上。下面的犬齿进行了银汞合金修复。
