description This report was written in an attempt to summarize old and new theories and scientific results regarding FORL (Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions). Several different kinds of treatment are presented in this study. Among them teeth extraction and crown amputation seems to give the best long-term results. It seems clear that the domestic cat of today have no trouble digesting dry foods without their teeth. The most accurate way to diagnose FORL is by using intraoral dental radiology technique. Over one third of the cat population are affected by FORL. This disease most commonly affects middle-aged females, and Asian breeds seem to be predisposed. FORL has been detected in both captive and wild large cats (such as lions, leopards, cougar…) as well as in wild or domestic small cats. Most authors referred to in this report believe that the lesions are a result of odontoclastic activity. What triggers this activity still remains unknown.

I detta arbete ges en sammanfattande beskrivning av gamla och nya erfarenheter och forskningsresultat gällande FORL (Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions). Många olika teorier och typer av behandling presenteras. Av de olika typerna av behandling anses tandextraktion eller kronamputation vara de bästa alternativen. Det framgår tydligt att den domesticerade katten klarar sig bra utan sina tänder och att den lider mer om man använder sig av lagning istället för extraktion. Det framgår också att det säkraste sättet att diagnostisera FORL är genom intraoral tandröntgen. Sjukdomen drabbar ungefär en tredjedel av alla domesticerade katter men sjukdomen har även hittats hos vilda katter. Det är vanligtvis medelålders honkatter som drabbas och det är vanligt bland asiatiska raser. Resorptionen anses, av de flesta författarna som jag refererat till, genomföras av odontoklaster. Vad som stimulerar till denna klastiska aktivitet är ännu oklart. SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health (until 231231) 2006 L3 swe eng https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/10721/
