16
Q

What is grade 4 periodontal

A

Greater than 50% attachment
Dental abscess, furcation exposures, mobile teeth and gingival recession may be present

17
Q

What are dental fractures

A

Associated with behavior of pet and their chewing activity
Seen more in large than small breeds

18
Q

What is the most seen dental fracture in general practice and how can this be handled

A

Upper four premolar
Avoid bones and antler products
Address behavioral concerns

19
Q

How can you address a fracture

A

Restoration dentistry
Extraction or root canal

20
Q

What are reasons for dental extractions of fractured teeth

A

Fracture is below gum line
Pull cavity is exposed
Tooth has abscessed and progressed into periodontal disease

21
Q

What is a dental abscess

A

Bacteria enters the pulp cavity of damaged tooth and course to the tooth’s root
Present on radiograph with lucent area around the tooth root

22
Q

If a tooth abscess of the upper fourth premolar causes swelling below the associated eye what can occur

A

Ocular disease and damage
Treat with antibiotics, extraction, then more antibiotics

23
Q

What is canine ulcerative paradental stomatisis and gingivostomatitis

A

Also known as canine chronic ulcerative stomatitis
Inflammatory condition that involves Gingiva, cheek, lips, palate, and tongue tissue
Can cause ulceration to the tissue that touches the teeth

24
Q

What causes CUPS and what are some clinical signs

A

Unclear but suspected to be excessive immune stimulation from bacteria and plaque on the teeth
Halitosis, thick or viscous saliva, anorexia or hyporexia with oral changes

25
Q

How do you treat CUPS

A

Full dental extraction

26
Q

If you see gingivostomatitis in cats what is it usually associated with and how should you treat it

A

Associated with FIV positive cats
Full oral extractions needed

27
Q

What is feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions

A

Causes cavity lesions
The cause is unknown but Calcivirus, autoimmune, or metabolic causes could be the reason
Occurs where Gingiva meets the dental hard tissue

28
Q

What happens when there is damage to the dental hard tissue

A

Bacteria enters the cavities causing inflammation, jaw spasms, and hyper salivation
Mandible premolars often affected but any tooth can experience this

29
Q

What percentage of cats over what age will have at least one tooth that is affected by resorption

A

Over 50% at over the age of three

30
Q

A

Common benign tumor found in dogs
Arises from peridontal ligament where brachycephalic breeds over present

31
Q

What is fibromatous epulis

A

Non ulcerated mushroom like enlargement on the tooth

32
Q

What is peripheral odontogenic fibroma

A

Similar to fibromatous epulis but incorporates osteoblasts causing bony formation

33
Q

What is acanthomatous ameloblastoma

A

Pre cancerous and invades local tissue
Cauliflower like appearance and ulceration may be present

34
Q

How do you treat epulis

A

Removal of associated tooth and curetting the alveolar bone to remove ligament fibers
Acanthomatous ameloblastomas usually involve partial maxillectomies or mandibulectomies
