Right lateral (a), occlusal (b) and left lateral (c) dental radiographs of the rostral mandibles of the cat. Geographic bone loss is evident at the right rostral mandible and symphyseal area, combined with permeative bone loss in the apical region of the right mandibular canine tooth. Mild inflammatory root resorption is present in all of the incisor teeth. The left mandibular canine and third premolar tooth are affected by stage 5 tooth resorption. The right mandibular canine tooth is affected by stage 4c tooth resorption and there is a complete loss of hard tissues in the apical area. The right mandibular third premolar tooth is affected by stage 5 tooth resorption and there is a retained mesial root of the right mandibular fourth premolar tooth
