Key Points

  • To assess the challenges of endodontic debridement in severely infected equine cheek teeth.
  • Single stage endodontic protocol was used for debridement.
  • Anatomical assessments were compared with existing literature on healthy cheek teeth.
  • Evaluated the anatomy of pulp canals in the context of severe infection.
  • Single stage protocol did not completely debride the endodontic cavity.
  • Existing anatomical literature was inaccurate in predicting pulp canal communications in infected teeth.
  • Apical deltas were not identified as a significant concern during procedures.

Abstract

A single stage endodontic protocol was unable to completely debride the endodontic cavity of severely infected equine cheek teeth. Literature on the anatomy of healthy cheek teeth was not accurate in predicting communications between pulp canals in infected cheek teeth. Apical deltas are likely not a cause of concern during equine endodontic procedures.
