Background: Periodontal disease (PD) can adversely affect glycaemic control in humans. However, it is unknown if a similar association exists in dogs.
Methods: Ten client-owned dogs with poorly regulated diabetes mellitus (DM) and PD were prospectively enrolled.
Case Series Summary: Tooth aspiration is a rare occurrence in human medicine, and even more so in veterinary medicine. This report describes two cats that aspirated a tooth (one canine tooth and one premolar tooth) following maxillofacial trauma. One cat presented with dyspnoea, while the other showed no respiratory clinical signs.

Therefore, the goals of the study were to compare the distribution and potential complications of three infraorbital or maxillary regional injection techniques.
Methods: Twenty-three bilateral maxillae of cat cadavers were used in a randomised blinded trial.
Objective: To describe a noninvasive method for preventing mandibular drift (MD) after mandibulectomy in dogs.
Study Design: Technique description and case series.
Animals: Dogs (n=18) that had mandibulectomy involving resection of a portion of the mandible caudal to the 2nd mandibular premolar tooth.
Objective: To compare the diagnostic yield of conventional radiographs and computed tomography (CT) images of the skulls of dogs and cats with maxillofacial trauma (MFT).
Study Design: Prospective study.
Animals: Dogs (n=9) and 15 cats with MFT.
