What are you opinions? en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/241574?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 16 May 2023 10:05:39 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:bce555ad-ac13-4eca-8816-23dcc0885937Rob Davis<p>It can be difficult to tell with these - the pulp cavity extends close to the tip especially in young cats, but as it tapers it becomes extremely narrow.&nbsp; Radiographs are not a reliable way of determining pulp exposure. If threre is absolutely no catching with a sharp explorer and no visible exposure of pulp (magnification is really helpful), then I would monitor this case. I would repeat the radiographs in a few months. If there has been pulp exposure then the pulp will die and you will see a cessation of dentine deposition (so the pulp will appear narrower in the contralateral tooth).&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
