[The cat with exposed tooth roots: a missed diagnosis?].
The distal roots of the mandibular molars (309 & 409) are often exposed in cats with chronic, recurrent inflammation of the oral mucous membranes. The disorder can be easily detected during a thorough investigation under light sedation. Some reasons are given why the diagnostic investigation is sometimes performed incompletely.
