Necrosis Secondary to Gingival Hyperplasia Excision With Radiosurgical Unit
This case will appear in a manuscript in a future issue
of Clinicians Brief. I saw this Irish Setter one month following
excision of generalized gingival hyperplasia . The veterinarian
used a radiosurgical unit to excise the tissue. Severe
bone and gingival necrosis with tooth mobility and gingival recession were
present secondary to tissue hyperthermia from the radiosurgical
unit.. Multiple teeth required extraction. Non-mobile teeth may
require extraction and follow up radiography and evaluation have been set for
September.
