what is resorption syndrome in cats
Feline Tooth Resorption (TR) is a syndrome in cats characterized by resorption of the tooth by odontoclasts, cells similar to osteoclasts.TR has also been called feline odontoclastic resorption lesion (FORL), neck lesion, cervical neck lesion, cervical line erosion, feline caries, or feline cavity.Rs have been seen more recently in the history of feline medicine due to the advancing ages of cats, but 800-year-old cat skeletons have shown evidence of this disease. Purebred cats, especially Siamese and Persians, may be more susceptible.
