Plain-English summary
An American Eskimo dog had a dental issue involving a defect near the lower right molar tooth. To treat this problem, the veterinarian used a synthetic bone graft and a special gel. After 33 months, a follow-up showed that the bone had successfully integrated and the area was healing well, although there was still a small pocket remaining. Overall, the treatment helped improve the dog's dental health significantly.
