Abstract

Among the various oral affections that affect the felines, we can highlight the infraorbital fistula, which consists of a periapical osteolytic lesion (osteolysis caused by inflammation due to pulpal necrosis and bacterial contamination of the root canal), usually in the tooth. In the clinical examination of the animal the presence of infraorbital fistula with alteration in the fourth premolar tooth was verified. As a treatment, the Exodontia technique associated with the administration of antimicrobials and anti-inflammatories in the pre-operative period, and antimicrobials and analgesics in the pos-operative period were performed.
