Complicated crown fracture, dog
The image depicts a complicated crown fracture of the right maxillary fourth premolar tooth of a dog. This can also be referred to as a “slab” fracture. The red area within the center of the tooth depicts pulp exposure. While the tooth is not currently bleeding, the pulp is exposed and will become nonvital without immediate treatment.
