They used to be called FORL's, which is short for Feline
Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesion.
(Johnson N, Acquired feline oral cavity disease, Part 2: feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesions.
One common dental problem that generally shows up around the age of four or five in 25 - 70 % of cats are feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesions, also known as neck lesions, cavities or root absorptions.
As if suffering through a toothache without being able to do anything about it wasn't bad enough, cats are also uniquely susceptible to what's known as feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesions, or FORLS, a very painful type of gum lesion.
Feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORL) is one other comparatively widespread dental affliction, affecting an estimated 50 p.c of cats.
Tooth resorption in cats results in FORLs (Feline
Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions - AKA Feline Oral Reorptive Lesions).
An article in DVM Newsmagazine cites research showing that cats that develop painful «neck lesions» (dental cavities at the gum line; also called Feline
Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions, or FORLs) have significantly higher blood levels of Vitamin D than cats who don't.
This disease is called Feline
Odontoclastic Resorbtive Lesions (FORLs).
Feline
Odontoclastic Oral Resorption Lesions — FORL — are painful lesions that begin as shallow pits in the enamel and dentine of the cats» tooth, and as plaque accumulates, the surrounding tissues become inflamed.
Dr. Earley has a developing interest in research for the increasingly prevalent disease of EOTRH (Equine
Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis).
The middle tooth is a premolar tooth with a feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesion (FORL or cavity) and loss of jaw bone.
Resorptive lesions, formerly knows as FORLs (Feline
Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions), are a type of dental disease found primarily in cats, although they have been found in other animals as well, including dogs.
Oral manifestations of systemic disease, gingivostomatitis, feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesions and oral autoimmune disorders.
Apart from periodontal disease, more than 50 percent of felines have at least one feline
odontoclastic resorption lesion (FORL) by the time they are 3 years old.2 Like human cavities, they are extremely painful and can cause difficulty in eating.
We also recommend dental radiographs for any problem teeth or full - mouth radiographs on patients that have a disease of the oral cavity such as stomatitis or Feline
Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions.
This tooth injury is so common it has several names: resorptive lesion (RL), feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesion (FORL), cervical line lesion, and feline «neck» lesion.
In addition to periodontal disease, cats can also develop other dental disease, including feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORLs or cavities), stomatitis (widespread inflammation of the mouth), and oral cancer.
Many cats produce feline
odontoclastic resorption lesions (FORL) in their teeth.
2) Feline
Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL)-- This condition is comparable to a cavity, and occurs when lesions form in the enamel of a tooth.
These conditions affect a cat's gums and the portions of their teeth below the gum line and may include feline
odontoclastic resorption lesions (FORL).
Resorptive lesions are also known as Feline
Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORLs).
These conditions have an effect on a cat's gums and the parts of their enamel below the gum line and will embrace feline
odontoclastic resorption lesions (FORL).
These conditions have an effect on a cat's gums and the parts of their enamel beneath the gum line and may include feline
odontoclastic resorption lesions (FORL).
The lesions are referred to as feline
odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORLs).
The study evaluated tissues and radiographic evidence of equine
odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis as well as the affected tooth, adjacent teeth and surrounding bone and soft tissue structures.
A Feline
Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesion (FORL) is similar to a human cavity - erosion of the tooth at the gumline eventually exposes the pulp cavity and causes pain.
