Occlusal trauma caused by calculus

2021-12-07

Our hospital recently had an 18-year-old cat patient who had never had her teeth scaling in her 18 years of life and did not have the habit of brushing her teeth. As a result, a massive dental calculus had formed on the maxillary left fourth premolar (208), causing chronic ulceration and proliferation of the gingiva on the opposite side of the mandibular. The once voracious cat began to experience poor appetite and a foul odor from her mouth.
After Dr. Chung-Wei Chen removed the lesion from the cat's oral cavity and performed wound cleaning, the cat's gingiva and appetite recovered well.
How does dental calculus form?
Dental calculus is composed of food residues, mineral deposits from saliva, and oral bacteria. It forms within 24 hours after eating and hardens to a point where it cannot be brushed away with a toothbrush after 72 hours. Therefore, daily brushing and regular dental scaling are crucial.
Is it important to remove dental calculus?
Aside from potential bite injuries caused by dental calculus, as in this case, dental calculus serves as an excellent attachment area for periodontal bacteria. Failure to clean dental calculus from gingival sulcus and the roots of teeth can lead to the onset and worsening of periodontal disease. Therefore, thorough removal of dental calculus is crucial.
