This study aimed to analyse the disease\u2019s 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.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13152500","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,3]],"date-time":"2023-08-03T11:13:06Z","timestamp":1691061186000},"page":"2500","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Feline Tooth Resorption: A Description of the Severity of the Disease in Regard to Animal\u2019s Age, Sex, Breed and Clinical Presentation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8164-4937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrycja","family":"Pistor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostructure and Animal Physiology, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Ko\u017cuchowska Str. 1\/3, 51-631 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5166-856X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Izabela","family":"Janus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, CK Norwida Str. 31, 50-375 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4357-2271","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"Janeczek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostructure and Animal Physiology, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Ko\u017cuchowska Str. 1\/3, 51-631 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"},{"name":"Veterinary Dentistry and Orthodontics Centre, Osadnicza Str. 12, 51-515 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2368-1534","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maciej","family":"Dobrzy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Preclinical Dentistry, Wroclaw Medical University, Krakowska Str. 26, 50-425 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"37","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X14560098","article-title":"Tooth resorption in cats.
