Figure 4. Caudal malocclusion with traumatic pyogranuloma in an eight-month-old domestic shorthair cat. Note the proximity of the marked inflammation to the mandibular first molar tooth. The periodontal health of this tooth is commonly compromised in these cases and extraction may be required. Treatment in this case consisted of crown height reduction of the maxillary third and fourth premolar teeth, together with resection of the granulomatous tissue.
