Attrition
the wearing away of a tooth resulting from the friction of teeth against each other
Avulsion
complete displacement of the tooth from the socket
Buccoversion

inflammation of the lip
Cingulum
a ledge on the palatal side of the maxillary incisors
Class I malocclusion
overall normal occlusion except that one or more teeth are of of alignment
Class II occlusion
malocclusion occurring when the mandible is shorter than normal. This may cause the adult canines and incisor to penetrate the hard palate, and irritation and ulceration of the hard palate may result
Class III occlusion
a malocclusion that has several forms, and may be caused by the mandible being too long
Contact mucositis
Contact mucosal ulceration
Lesions in susceptible individuals that are secondary to mucosal contact with a tooth surface bearing the responsible irritant, allerge, or antigen. They have also been called “contact ulcers” and kissing ulcers
Cranial mandibular osteodystrophy
an inherited condition in which nonneoplastic bone forms in the region of the temporomandibular joint and occasionally extends into the mandible. It occurs primarily in West Highland white terriers.
Crossbite
a malocculsion in which a mandibular tooth or teeth have a ore buccal or labial position than the antagonist maxillary tooth.
Dentigerous Cyst
A cyst in which all or part of a toothis in the cyst
Dilacerated roots
an abnormally formed root
Distoversion
a type of class I malocclusion in which a tooth is in its anatomically correct position in the dental arch but which is abnormally angled in a distal direction
Enamel hypomineralization
inadequate mineralization of enamel matrix
Enamel hypoplasia
a defect in tooth enamel production
Endodontics
dental specialty dealing with the treatment of conditions inside the tooth
Fibrosarcoma
a sarcoma occurring in the mandible or maxilla that may create fleshy, protruding firm masses that are sometimes friable
Fusion
the joining of two developing teeth that have different tooth buds
Gemini tooth
a tooth in which a tooth bud has partially divided in the attempt to form two teeth
Gingival hyperplasia
the proliferation of gingival cells
Gingivitis
inflammation of the gingiva most often caused by bacterial plaque
Glossitis
inflammation of the mucosa of the dorsal and/or ventral tongue surface
Granuloma
a tumor-like mass or nodule of granulation tissue
Interceptive orthodontics
the process of extracting primary teeth to prevent orthodontic malocclusions
Labia/buccal muscositis
inflammation of the lip/cheek mucosa
Labioversion
an incisor or canine tooth that is in its anatomically correct position in the dental arch but which is abnormally angled in a labial direction
Linguoversion
a tooth that is in its anatomically correct position in the dental arch, but which is abnormally angled in a lingual direction
Luxation
partial displacement of the tooth from the socket
Malignant melanoma
a tumor occurring on any site in the oral cavity. They are locally invasive and highly metastatic to the lungs, regional lymph nodes, and bone
Mandibular periostitis ossificans
a benign lesion seen in young breed dogs that will spontaneously resolve with age
Mandibular prognathism
a condition in which the mandible is too long
Maxillary brachygnathism
a malocclusion in which the maxilla is too short and the mandible side, or dorsoventral direction
maxillary-mandibular asymmetry
skeletal malocclusions that can occur in rostrocaudal, side-to-side or dorsoventral direction
Mesioversion
a type of class I malocclusion in which a tooth that is in its anatomically correct position in the dental arch is abnormally angled in a mesial direction
nonneoplastic bone
proliferative bone that does not contain cancer cells
Odontoma
a mass of cells that have enamel, dentin, cementum, and small tooth-like structures
Oral medicine
dental specialty dealing with the effects of cancer and other medical conditions on the mouth
Oral neoplasia
tumors in the mouth
Oronasal fistula
an abnormal opening between the oral and nasal cavitites
Orthodontics
the correction of dental malocclusions
Osteomylitis
inflammation of the bone and bone marrow
Palatitis
inflammation of mucosa covering the hard and/or soft palate
Pedodontics
dental specialty dealing with the treatment of dental disease in the puppy and kitten
Peg teeth
abnormally formed supernumerary teeth
Periodontics
dental specialty dealing with the treatment of conditions in the surrounding tooth structure
Periodontitis
inflammation of nongingival periodontal tissues
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma
fibroma characterized by the presence of a tumor in the tissues of the gingiva, it occntains prrimarily fibrous tissues, and is also known as fibromatous epulis
Persistent primary teeth
baby teeth that may cause orthodontic and periodontic abnormalities by possible displacing the adult teeth
Pharyngitis
inflammation of the pharynx
Prosthodontics
dental specialty dealing with the process of restoring the tooth to normal health
Rostral crossbite
a malocclusion in which one or more of the madibular incisor teeth is labial to the opposing maxillary incisor teeth when the mouth is closed
Scissors bite
normal occlusion in dogs and cats in which the madibular teeth come into contact with the palatal side of the maxillary teeth
Slab fracture
the most common fracture of the fourth premolar, resulting from the force placed on a very small area of tooth when the patient bites down
Spearing canines
class I orthodontic condition in which the maxillary canines are tippped in a rostral position and trapped by the madibular canines
