Abstract

A 1-year-old female Slow loris was presented with swelling of left nasal bridge. On physical examination, fracture of left upper canine tooth was found. Cytologic and radiographic examination on the lesion revealed bacterial infection and pulpitis, respectively. The bacteria were identified as Streptococcus gordonii by culture and molecular diagnosis. After removal of damaged tooth and administration of antibiotics, the abscess was resolved.

안면부 부종으로 내원한 1년령의 암컷 슬로우로리스의 신체검사에서 좌측 상악 견치의 골절이 확인되었다. 세포검사 및 방사선상에서 세균감염과 치수염이 각각 확인되었다. 세균은 배양 및 분자진단을 통해 Streptococcus gordonii로 동정되었다. 손상된 치아의 발치 및 항생제 투여 후 병변은 소실되었다.
