French term

enfouissement

French to English Medical Medical: Dentistry feline tooth resorption
"La définition d’un type permet selon les auteurs de proposer un traitement chirurgical plus conservateur, « par enfouissement », en présence du Type 2 de RD [tooth resorption]"

"L’enfouissement volontaire sécurise le geste et évite le dérapages…"

Context: Type 2 feline tooth resorptive lesions are treated by crown amputation with intentional root retention (I gather because the root is often fused to bone and their extraction would cause too much bone damage). I'm wondering whether enfouissement corresponds to intentional root retention or the act of suturing the gingiva to seal off the root remnants.

Feline Tooth Resorption
Feline tooth resorption typically originates in the cementum, may progress into root dentin, and then either progress through the root, into the crown, or both. Tooth resorption that can be identified on oral examination is an indication for radiographic evaluation and treatment. Intraoral radiography is required to properly evaluate this condition. Whole-mouth radiographs are recommended to evaluate other teeth in the mouth.
Complete extraction is the treatment of choice for teeth that have detectable crown resorption but no radiographic evidence of root resorption. Teeth with crown resorption but radiographic signs of advanced root resorption (and no concurrent periodontal disease, periapical periodontitis or stomatitis) may be treated by subgingival amputation. Either form of treatment should be followed by gingival closure.
If there is radiographic evidence of root resorption, but no clinical resorption can be detected on oral examination, the tooth can be "monitored" or preemptively extracted. Restoration of these teeth is not recommended.
Semiannual dental examinations are recommended for all cats with previous diagnosis of tooth resorption. Radiography should be repeated annually or more frequently as dictated by the oral examination.

enfouissement = burying

Would "countersink" be any use?

Mind you, my first ref is about implants, and your cat is not having an implant, now is it?

Anyway, FWIW :-)
