Combining Oral Examination and Radiographic Findings to Optimize Treatment Planning

Combining Oral Exam and Radiographic Findings

Jack Easley, DVM, MS, DABVP-EQ, DAVDC-EQ

The examination is the foundation of veterinary medical practice and a detailed oral examination is needed to identify dental abnormalities. Radiographic imaging allows the veterinarian to access both the intraoral and intra-alveolar portions of the tooth and surrounding structures. The complete dental evaluation utilizing both modalities is often essential in formulating a tentative diagnosis and an informed treatment plan.
