Dogs that use their canine teeth for work such as members of the Sarasota Police Department canine unit not only damage them while working but also have a tendency to be cage biters.
 

 
 


To extend the working life of these dogs, cast metal alloy crowns can be placed to protect these teeth from further trauma. If fracture with exposure of the pulp is present, root canal therapy must be performed prior to crown placement.
 

 
 


Full coverage crowns are an option that protects the entire tooth.

Partial onlay or ¾ crowns may be chosen for those that are cage biters to protect the back portion of the tooth.
