Plain-English summary
Two Scottish terrier dogs were brought in for ongoing oral issues, including painful sores in their mouths. They were diagnosed with a severe form of gum disease that had caused damage to their jawbones. To treat this, the veterinarians performed surgery to remove parts of the jaw and extract affected teeth. After the surgery, both dogs showed improvement and were likely more comfortable without the painful oral conditions.

Abstract
Two Scottish terrier dogs were presented for recurrent oral problems. They were diagnosed with refractory chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis and necrosis of the incisive and maxillary bones. Both dogs were treated with a combination of bilateral rostral maxillectomy and tooth extractions. The ostectomy was performed with a specific cutting device using piezoelectric bone surgery technology. These two cases show that a precise evaluation of dogs is essential for the diagnose of chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis and its differentiation from mucocutaneous autoimmune diseases.
