Abstract
This clinical report describes the dental treatment of canine teeth fractures in three cats. These animals were diagnosed by oral examination and dental radiography as having fractured teeth with pulpal exposure. After endodontic treatment was completed, root canal filling material was removed from the coronal access and a trial post placement was performed. The post was permanently cemented after shortening. Teeth were etched and a bonded composite resin core formed and then shaped using rotary instruments. Fractured canine teeth were treated without any complications observed during a six-month follow-up period, proving that fractured cat canine teeth can be treated successfully with root canal therapy followed by restorative treatment with posts and composite resin.
