Abstract:
Dentigerous cysts are a common finding in dogs with unerupted teeth. Careful evaluation of the dentition and radiographic examination of any areas of apparently missing teeth is recommended to identify unerupted teeth. Dentigerous cysts may be small and focal, or they may be expansive and destructive. This case report describes an extensive dentigerous cyst that formed secondary to an unerupted tooth. Although the cyst was not completely excised due to its extensive nature, multiple postoperative examinations showed resolution of the cyst and no radiographic or clinical signs of recurrence.

Conservation of Small Populations
Conserved Binding Sites
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...
Conservative Forces
Conservative forces are forces that are dependent only on the initial and final positions of an object and that are independent of the path that the object takes between these positions. These forces conserve energy, which means that the work done by the force is independent of the path...
