sublingual artery
According to Martin-Flores M, Scrivani PV, Loew E, Gleed CA, Ludders JW. in
Maximal and submaximal mouth opening with mouth gags in cats: Implications for maxillary artery blood flow. The Veterinary Journal. 2014;200(1):60-64.
What was performed in this study?
•Prospective study using magnetic resonance angiography and ERG measurements in cats to look at maxillary artery bloodflow during mouth opening at different measurements
According to Martin-Flores M, Scrivani PV, Loew E, Gleed CA, Ludders JW. in
Maximal and submaximal mouth opening with mouth gags in cats: Implications for maxillary artery blood flow. The Veterinary Journal. 2014;200(1):60-64.
Why is this specifically relevant in cats?
Opening of the mouth can cause cerebral and retinal ischemia through compression of the maxillary arteries, which are the principal source of blood flow to the eyes and brain in cats
According to Martin-Flores M, Scrivani PV, Loew E, Gleed CA, Ludders JW. in
Maximal and submaximal mouth opening with mouth gags in cats: Implications for maxillary artery blood flow. The Veterinary Journal. 2014;200(1):60-64.
What is the anatomic mechanism at play when cats have their mouth opened too wide?
compression of the maxillary arteries
opening the mouth narrows the distance between the medial aspect of the angular process of the mandible and the rostrolateral border of the tympanic bulla;
the maxillary artery courses between these two osseous structures

Maximal and submaximal mouth opening with mouth gags in cats: Implications for maxillary artery blood flow. The Veterinary Journal. 2014;200(1):60-64.
What was found with the ERG?
A progressive reduction in both a and b waves of the ERG was observed in 1/6 cats, but only when the spring-loaded gag was placed on the right side
rest of cats had normal ERG

What was found with the MRA in the fully open cats? What was found with the 42mm gag?
•When the mouth was fully opened,
- normal signal intensity 2/6 cats,
- focally reduced signal intensity was detected bilaterally in 2/6 cats,
- diffusely reduce signal intensity was detected bilaterally in the remaining 2/6 cats
At 42mm
- 1/6 cats focally reduced intensity was detected ipsilateral to gag

A longitudinal assessment of periodontal disease in 52 miniature schnauzers. BMC Veterinary Research. 2014;10(1):166.
How was periodontal disease assessed?
how was periodontitis defined?
what happenned to teeth when they were diagnosed with periodontitis?
what happened to dogs when >12 teeth were diagnosed with periodontitis?
- Periodontal exam and probing, no rads
- periodontitis was any attachment loss
- once a tooth had periodontitis, it was scaled and polished, and removed from the study
- once a dog had >12 teeth with periodontitis, the dog had a fulol scale and polish and was removed from the study

none
