Abstract

Seven animals of different species suffering from dental problems were referred to the surgical unit of the schools. Six of them had upper or lower jaw osteomyelitis along with dental root abscesses and one had dental fracture. All these animals were managed successfully by extra-oral and intra-oral extraction of the involved teeth.
