title: Etiopathogenesis of feline dental resorptive lesions.
abstract: There are several factors in the etiopathology of feline resorptive lesions. They may be considered as local immune-response mediating cell and humoral factors; release of biochemical components in dental and paradental tissues to attract odontoclasts; mechanical stress, including occlusal mechanism; and local and systemic calcium regulation, including remodeling of mineralized tissue and dietary intake of calcium.
