This lecture will delve into the complex etiology of feline resorptive lesions, an increasingly common and painful dental condition affecting cats. We will explore the latest insights into the causes and progression of these lesions, offering a comprehensive understanding of how they impact feline oral health.

The lecture will also compare and contrast two primary treatment strategies: crown amputation and conventional extraction. We'll examine the indications, advantages, and limitations of each approach, helping clinicians make informed decisions based on individual case needs.

Finally, we will discuss effective post-operative pain management techniques, ensuring optimal recovery and comfort for feline patients. Through this detailed exploration, participants will gain a deeper understanding of this condition, its management, and the best practices for ensuring the well-being of their feline patients.
