Abstract
A dog with diabetes mellitus was treated for multiple dental fractures and refractory hyperglycemia. Five teeth were found to have endodontic infections. Three extractions and two root canal procedures were performed to resolve these infections, resulting in improved regulation of blood glucose levels. Treatment planning included special considerations in management of diabetes in the anesthetic and perioperative periods.
