Digestion & Metabolism 2: Pathology of LA Oral Cavity Flashcards
MAXILLARY BRACHYGNATHIA…
= definition
= when the MAXILLA is TOO SHORT
ID disease & name in ALPACAS
WRY NOSE
in alpacas = CAMPYLORRHINUS LATERALIS
WRY NOSE…
name of disease in ALPACAS?
= definition?
in alpacas = CAMPYLORRHINUS LATERALIS
= AXIAL DEVIATION of NASOINCISIVE BONES
ID disease
MAXILLARY BRACHYGNATHIA (maxilla is too short)
ID disease & DEFINITION w/ etiology
= PALATOSCHISIS, CLEFT PALATE, ORONASAL FISTULA
DEFINITION w/ etiology…
–> INCOMPLETE fusion of PALATINE BONES causes DIRECT COMMUNICATION between OROPHARYNX and NASOPHARYNX
name disease
POLYODONTIA (supernumerary teeth) of PREMOLAR 4
ID disease & common name
HETEROTROPIC POLYODONTIA
EQUINE EAR TOOTH or DENTIGEROUS CYST
HETEROTROPIC POLYODONTIA…
= aka WHAT 2 NAMES?
what are they classified as?
treatment options? (2)
= aka equine EAR TOOTH or DENTIGEROUS CYST
classification?
COMPOUND ODONTOMAS, disorganized, jumbled version of an organ
Treatment?
1. Can be EXTRACTED
2. If in a bad location, EUTHANASIA
___ teeth have ____ ____ that are ____ GROWN FROM THE ____ because….
HYPSODONT teeth have RESERVE CROWNS that are CONTINUOUSLY GROWN FROM THE ROOT because TEETH WORN DOWN OVER TIME
why are the VISIBLE CROWNS in HYPSODONT teeth SHORT?
VISIBLE CROWN should be SHORT because if MOST OF IT IS RESERVE CROWN, then should be WORN DOWN & PRODUCED at the same rate!
ID lesion & why it occurred
“WAVE MOUTH” where TEETH ARE DIFFERENT HEIGHTS/SHAPES
occurred because HYPSODONT TEETH are NOT EVENLY WORN DOWN AT THE CROWN, so GROWTH IS NOT PROPORTIONAL and DIFFERENT WEARING ON DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE MOUTH
____ TEETH have an ____ ____ that’s important for ____ & _____ _____ ______.
they’re located on the ____ part of the jaw
CHEEK, OCCLUSAL SURFACE, MASTICATION, GRINDING FIBROUS FEED
located on the LOWER part of the jaw
SEVERE MALOCCLUSION…
= aka what name?
2 potential etiologies?
pathophysiology that causes GINGIVAL RECESSION? (3)
4 common clinical signs?
5 things that can occur if UNTREATED?
= aka DENTAL ATTRITION
2 potential etiologies?
1. PRIMARY (congenital)
2. SECONDARY (uneven wear)
pathophysiology?
1. If TOO MANY TEETH then NOT ABLE TO MASTICATE FOOD PROPERLY
2. DIASTEMA caused LARGE GINGIVAL SULCI/POCKETS that had food get inside and CAUSE GINGIVITIS/PERIODONTITIS
3. Eventually, GINGIVAL RECESSION
common clinical signs?
1. Emaciation
2. Generalized muscle wasting
3. Poor hair coat
4. Unable to rise
If UNTREATED…
1. Injury to soft tissues
2. Tooth loss
3. EXACERBATION of malocclusion/diastema
4. INADEQUATE MASTICATION that can then cause CHOKE
–> BOLUS/STEMMY food that has not been well masticated can OBSTRUCT ESOPHAGUS
5. PERIPHERAL OSTEOMYELITIS that can then cause SINUSITIS
ID disease (2 names)
SEVERE MALOCCLUSION/DENTAL ATTRITION
OVERALL DZ?
3 morphologic findings here?
OVERALL DZ = PULPITIS & TOOTH ROOT ABSCESS
3 findings?
1. SEVERE ODONTOCLASTIC RESORPTION
2. SECONDARY GRANULATION TISSUE
3. LYSIS of ALVEOLAR BONE (around tooth)
PULPITIS & TOOTH ROOT ABSCESSES in horses…
which tooth is MOST SUSCEPTIBLE to this disease/why?
pathophysiology? (3, starting with NATURE of tooth surface)
histopathology findings? (2)
which clinical sign is FIRST NOTICED?
which tooth?
–> M1 MOLARS are MORE PREDISPOSED than other teeth because THEY’RE THE FIRST TEETH TO ERUPT/OLDEST IN THE MOUTH
pathophysiology?
1. OCCLUSAL TOOTH SURFACES of hypsodont teeth can cause BACTERIA/FEED MATERIAL to get impacted on the surface
2. Material can EVENTUALLY GET INTO PULP CAVITY
3. Once in pulp cavity, causes LYSIS into the TOOTH ROOTS
histopathology finding?
1. SEVERE SUPPURATIVE INFLAMMATION extending into the PULP CAVITY
2. MANY NEUTROPHILS visible
MALODOROUS NASAL DISCHARGE IS USUALLY FIRST CLINICAL SIGN NOTICED
EQUINE ODONTOCLASTIC TOOTH RESORPTION & HYPERCEMENTOSIS (EOTRH) SYNDROME…
predisposed AGE & SEX?
history clinical findings? (2)
PE clinical findings?
tends to occur in ____ teeth vs. ____ teeth
predispositions?
1. SENIOR-aged horses
2. GELDINGS > mares/stallions
history?
1. CHRONIC WEIGHT LOSS
2. QUIDDING (food drops out of mouth)
PE findings?
1. look for WORN INCISORS with GINGIVAL RECESSION
INCISORS > CHEEK TEETH
