Plain-English summary
A 2-year-old spayed female Miniature Pinscher was brought in because her lower back teeth were loose. After examining her mouth and taking X-rays, the vet found that she had serious gum disease affecting those teeth. The treatment focused on fixing the roots of the teeth, which helped improve her gum health and reduced the damage seen on the X-rays. Following the treatment, the dog's teeth showed signs of healing and better stability.

Abstract
A two-year-old spayed/female Miniature Pinscher was treated for mobility of the left and right mandibular first molar teeth. Periodontal probing and intraoral dental radiographs indicated severe periodontal attachment loss. It was determined that both teeth had endodontic-periodontal lesions based on restoration of periodontal attachment and partial resolution of radiolucent periapical lesions following treatment which emphasized endodontic therapy.
