The cat chart is basically the same as the dog chart with less
teeth (30 rather than 42) which have different shapes. Note the
importance of the carnassial teeth in the modified
Triadan numbering system (BASICS chapter).
One major difference is the addition of the classification for
Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORLs). These lesions are
more common in felines than other species. With this exception,
all other indices (e.g. CI, GI, PI) are the same.
