A team of international tiger experts was called in to prepare his front tooth for a hard-wearing gold crown.

A rescue tiger living at a shelter in Germany has a golden fang after it broke off while chewing on toys. This incident happened in 2019. A six-year-old 152-pound (56.69 kg) Bengal tiger named Kara was held at a rescue center in the city of Maasweiler wearing a crown, which covers her damaged tooth. As the Daily Mail reports, the big cat was seized from private ownership in 2013 at a farmhouse in Mugnano, Italy, and transferred to the Tierret Tiger Station in Maasweiler, Germany in 2015.

A team of international tiger experts was called in to prepare his front tooth for a hard-wearing gold crown after a dentist found two deep grooves and vets feared the tooth could break at any moment Is.

So he underwent two complicated operations to save his bite and prevent further suffering while trying to eat. In late August 2019, specialists created a cast of Cara’s teeth to help create a perfectly fitted dental implant.

Biologist Florian Acerlo told Bild in Germany that the damaged tooth had been “cleaned and lightly sanded” to ensure the cement would hold properly. He also mentioned that after setting, the adhesive needs to be cured with UV light.

Three weeks after her procedure, Kara can eat meat again and chew on bones after being put on a restrictive diet to let her teeth heal.

Biologist Eva Lindenschmidt also said: “We are delighted that Kara can now bite properly and is smiling, showing off her new gold teeth.

The biologist also shared that the tooth crown fit perfectly from the start. “We saw on the X-ray that the grooves in her tooth went straight into the root canal. If the tooth had been broken, they would have been in a lot of pain.”

Luckily a team of international experts in dentistry were able to produce the gold crown, including Danish veterinarians Jens Ruhnau of the Vienna Veterinary University and Dr. Johanna Penner was involved.
