| Clinical findings that may indicate the presence of endodontic disease include a fractured [[:Category:Teeth - Anatomy & Physiology|tooth]] with exposure of the pulp chamber, a discolored tooth, or an intraoral or extraoral draining fistula. Except in the obvious case of a direct pulp exposure, a definitive diagnosis of endodontic pathology is difficult to make based only on [[Oral Examination - Small Animal|clinical examination]] of veterinary patients due to the limitations of pulp testing and lack of patient input. <br><br> | | Clinical findings that may indicate the presence of endodontic disease include a fractured [[:Category:Teeth - Anatomy & Physiology|tooth]] with exposure of the pulp chamber, a discolored tooth, or an intraoral or extraoral draining fistula.
