In cats, where is the most common site for tooth resorption?

The most common site for tooth resorption in cats is indeed the lower third premolars, often referred to as the lower 07s. This condition, known as feline tooth resorption, primarily affects these teeth, which can lead to serious dental issues if not diagnosed and treated promptly. The characteristic occurrence in this area is thought to be related to the unique anatomy of the cat's dentition and the way their teeth interact with the surrounding structures.

Dental resorption can occur in various forms but frequently manifests as a loss of tooth structure and can lead to pain, inflammation, and difficulty in eating. Recognizing that lower third premolars are particularly vulnerable aids veterinarians in monitoring dental health in cats and addressing any concerns early on.
