Question 1

In “frequency of clinical and radiographix evidence of inflammation associated with RTRFs and the effects of tooth root fragment length and position on oral inflammation in dogs” by Ng, et al,

How many RTrFs had evidence of inflammation?

Answer 1

54.7%

Question 2

In “frequency of clinical and radiographix evidence of inflammation associated with RTRFs and the effects of tooth root fragment length and position on oral inflammation in dogs” by Ng, et al,

For every 1mm increase in root length, how much did the odds of inflammation increase by?

Answer 2

17%

Question 3

In “frequency of clinical and radiographix evidence of inflammation associated with RTRFs and the effects of tooth root fragment length and position on oral inflammation in dogs” by Ng, et al,

Evidence of inflammation was identified in what percentage of buried, level, and protruding fragments?

Answer 3

Buried - 46.9%
Level - 35.5%
Protruding - 75.5%

Question 4

In “frequency of clinical and radiographix evidence of inflammation associated with RTRFs and the effects of tooth root fragment length and position on oral inflammation in dogs” by Ng, et al,

What was the most common inflammation associated clinical finding?

Answer 4

Draining tract in the gingiva, followed by a visible root fragment, and inflamed gingiva overlying a root fragment

67.6% of RTRFs w/ clinical evidence of inflammation had rad evidence of inflammation, 16% without clinical evidence had rad evidence of inflammation
