Implantation and Prosthetic Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Dental Avulsion in a Dog

Avulsion is a very rare traumatic injury in dogs which involves complete displacement of a tooth from the alveolar socket. This paper describes the implantation and prosthetic rehabilitation of a complete displaced left maxillary lateral incisor. A 2-stage dental implant placement was applied. The primary and secondary implant stability were measured using resonance frequency analysis. Six months later and following a successful osseointegration, a metal ceramic crown was made and cemented. The dog's owner should be introduced to the treatment and possible complications as well as the dog's future diet, teeth care and regular checkups of periodontal tissues.
