Maxillary osteomyelitis in two Scottish terrier dogs with chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis

J Vet Dent. 2011 Summer;28(2):96-100. doi: 10.1177/089875641102800206.

Abstract

Two Scottish terrier dogs were presented for recurrent oral problems. They were diagnosed with refractory chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis and necrosis of the incisive and maxillary bones. Both dogs were treated with a combination of bilateral rostral maxillectomy and tooth extractions. The ostectomy was performed with a specific cutting device using piezoelectric bone surgery technology. These two cases show that a precise evaluation of dogs is essential for the diagnose of chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis and its differentiation from mucocutaneous autoimmune diseases.
