Plain-English summary
A dog with misaligned teeth was treated for trauma in the mouth caused by its lower canine teeth pressing against the roof of its mouth. The veterinarian performed a crown reduction to reshape the teeth and then used a special material called mineral trioxide aggregate to protect the pulp inside the teeth. This treatment helped alleviate the dog's discomfort and prevent further damage.
