Dental 4 Flashcards
what do you almost always need to discern oral inflammation
BIOPSY
this condition is characterized by ulceration, inflammation, and mucosal necrosis
ulcers typically on alveolar and buccal mucosa opposite plaque: on gingiva, larger margins of tongue, pall folds, or lip margins
canine ulcerative stomatitis, a plaque induced oral inflammation
Maltese, CCKS, Greyhounds, Labs predisposed to what condition? often history of pain, reluctance to eat, recents oral exam or bite, and systemic dz uncommon but there will be hyperglobulinemia
canine ulcerative stomatitis
what is mainstay of CUS therapy
daily diligent plaque control!!
- complete PD assessment
- complete PD tx
- extractions as needed
- homecare brushing
- +- medical therapy
- frequent reassessment
and then PD recalls (examine monthly, ones exam 6 mo)
med mgmt
if pt fails canine ulcerative stomatitis medical mgmt, what is next step
surgical intervention, once med options are exhausted (extract teeth)
this multifactorial cat condition, more common in muklticat environments, is a manifestation of aberrant immune response to chronic antigenic stimulation and current SOC involves extractions of at least all M and PM teeth, w or w/o med mgmt
FCGS feline chronic gingivostomatitis
inflammation that does NOT cross the mucogingival line and that is confined to attached gingiva is _______, but inflammation that crosses the gingival line into alveolar tissue and palatoglossal folds is _______ [name the chronic cat condition]
gingivitis
feline chronic gingivostomatitis
(frequently misdiagnosed as gingivitis)
is medical management for FCGS prior to sx therapy often successful?
other than pain control, NO
so you should REFER
you should focus on CUS, FGCS, tooth resorption, oral tumors, and prudent Abx use.
ok
________ is an idiopathic eosinophilic inflammatory lesion on the hard/soft palate, pharyngeal walls, and/or tonsillar region. pts often present for oral discomfort, dysphagia, repeated swallowing, inappetence, and dx is by histopath of the lesion
eosinophilic stomatitis
how is eosinophilic stomatitis treated
immunosuppression: prednisone, cyclosporine
may need to be ongoing, depends on pt.
treatment of tooth resorption is determined by stage or by type
type
what is type I TR? tx?
tooth retains normal density and the PDL space is unchanged
extraction
what is type II TR? tx?
narrowing or disappearance of PDL space in at least some areas, and decreased radiopacity of tooth; often the root structure also appears same density as adjacent bone
coronectomy (bc there is no root left to remove)
what is type III TR? tx?
resorption occurs in same tooth: there are areas of normal AND narrow or lost PDL space, and focal or multifocal radiolucency in tooth but decreased radiopacity in other areas of tooth. in multirooted teeth only
hybrid extraction - extract root with well defined PDL, coronectomy of other root
this kind of tooth resorption appears as a crescent shaped defect in medial root that appears as though it is being resorbed by bone. does not need to be treated.
ERR external root replacement
oral masses can be classified as reactive, odontogenic, or malignant.
what are 2 reactive masses to know?
gingival hyperplasia and focal fibrous hyperplasia
oral masses can be classified as reactive, odontogenic, or malignant.
what are 3 odontogenic masses to know?
- canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma - malignant transformation of jxnl epithelium
- peripheral odontogenic fibroma - cellular fibroblastic connective tissue separate from normal fibrous connective tissue
- odontoma (less common)
