Each tooth was classified according to its primary pathological condition, and extraction was performed based on clinical criteria specific to each disease. Tooth extractions were then performed using appropriate methods based on the condition of each tooth. For a detailed analysis of each disease, a comparative study was conducted considering factors such as sex, age, breed, and tooth position.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Periodontitis (33.41%), feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS, 32.40%), and tooth resorption (TR, 15.21%) were the three most frequent reasons for tooth extraction in cats. Periodontitis and TR tended to significantly increase in prevalence with age, while FCGS showed a decreasing trend with age. Periodontitis was most commonly observed in the maxillary first molar teeth and mandibular incisor teeth, and least frequently in the canine teeth, with no statistically significant differences by sex or breed. FCGS showed a higher prevalence in domestic shorthair cats, and a slightly higher extraction rate in intact females compared to spayed females. There were no statistically significant differences by tooth location. TR was most frequently found in the mandibular third premolar teeth, with no significant variation by sex. While some breeds showed higher TR prevalence, the distribution varied across breeds.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study underscores the importance of tailored dental care for cats, especially as they age, and highlights the need for further studies to explore the links between factors such as nutrition, genetics, and oral health. A better understanding of these aspects can lead to improved overall health and quality of life for cats.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2025.1626701","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,14]],"date-time":"2025-07-14T06:32:01Z","timestamp":1752474721000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The prevalence of reasons for tooth extraction in cats"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Chun-Geun","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daehyun","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyuyoung","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Se Eun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyun Min","family":"Jo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1336","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1999.214.09.1336","article-title":"Health status and population characteristics of dogs and cats examined at private veterinary practices in the United States","volume":"214","author":"Lund","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1177\/089875640902600301","article-title":"Periodontal health status in a colony of 109 cats","volume":"26","author":"Girard","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Vet Dent"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1098612X231158154","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X231158154","article-title":"Periodontal disease in cats under primary veterinary care in the UK: frequency and risk factors","volume":"25","author":"O\u2019Neill","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Feline Med Surg"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1051","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.13405","article-title":"Epidemiology of periodontal disease in dogs in the UK primary-care veterinary setting","volume":"62","author":"O'Neill","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Small Anim Pract"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"692","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.1998.59.06.692","article-title":"Diagnostic value of full-mouth radiography in cats","volume":"59","author":"Verstraete","year":"1998","journal-title":"Am J Vet Res"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"369","DOI":"10.1177\/08987564221103142","article-title":"Dental pain in cats: a prospective 6-month study","volume":"39","author":"Palmeira","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Vet Dent"},{"key":"ref7","volume-title":"Extractions in cats: indications, techniques and complications (proceedings)","year":"2010"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"439","DOI":"10.1002\/9781118816219.ch20","article-title":"Domestic feline oral and dental diseases","volume-title":"Wiggs's veterinary dentistry: Principles and practice","author":"Reiter","year":"2019"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1866","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2000.217.1866","article-title":"Prevalence of odontoclastic resorption lesions and periapical radiographic lucencies in cats: 265 cases (1995\u20131998)","volume":"217","author":"Lommer","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X14560098","article-title":"Tooth resorption in cats: pathophysiology and treatment options","volume":"17","author":"Gorrel","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Feline Med Surg"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"192","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens13030192","article-title":"Feline chronic gingivostomatitis diagnosis and treatment through transcriptomic insights","volume":"13","author":"Soltero-Rivera","year":"2024","journal-title":"Pathogens"},{"key":"ref12","first-page":"170","article-title":"The role of dental extractions in feline chronic gingivostomatitis (Fcgs)","volume":"2","author":"Papadimitriou","year":"2016","journal-title":"EC Vet Sci"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1098612X231186834","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X231186834","article-title":"Feline chronic gingivostomatitis current concepts in clinical management","volume":"25","author":"Soltero-Rivera","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Feline Med Surg"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"224","DOI":"10.3390\/ani15020224","article-title":"Prevalence of reasons for tooth extraction in small-and medium-breed dogs","volume":"15","author":"Kim","year":"2025","journal-title":"Animals"},{"key":"ref15","volume-title":"AVDC nomenclature.
