*Not common in dog
Alveolar periostitis is not common in the dog. It is usually caused when infection and inflammatory mediators spread from the [[Tooth - Anatomy & Physiology#Pulp|pulp]] and consequently produce a periostitis. This spread of infection and inflammation may then go on to affect the surrounding bone and cause [[Osteomyelitis|osteomyelitis]]. The condition is sometimes seen when infection of a dog's carnassial teeth results in a chronic sinus discharging below the eye, this is a so called 'malar' abscess.

  • Not common in dog
  • Infection and inflammatory mediators usually spreads from pulp to produce the periostitis.
  • This may then affect the surrounding bone causing osteomyelitis.
    • Sometimes seen when infection of carnassial teeth in dogs results in a chronic sinus discharging below eye. So called 'malar' abscess.
  • Only treated by removal of tooth.
  • Hard to evaluate on mandible, may produce fistula that also needs tooth removal.
