E2- Dental dz 2 Flashcards
gingival hyperplasia
peripheral otodentic fibroma- benign
melanoma, fibrosarcoma, SCC
Name abnormality
pulpitis
focal spot in a younger dog- dentil tubules
name abnormality?
pulpitis
discolored teeth in older dog is most likely death
Whats in the circle?
dentinal tubules
T/F: pulpitis is often reversible
False- not often <10%
T/F pulpitis- the older the animal, the less likely the pulp is to survive
true
treatment of pulpitis
monitor
root canal
extraction
A- pulpitis: periapical lucency root resorption
B- normal tooth: chevron sign
Name lesion
Enamel infraction (abraction)
cracks in enamel, no loss of structure
Enamel fracture
loss of enamel only
Uncomplicated crown fracture
pulp chamber not exposed
Complicated crown fracture
pulp exposed
Uncomplicated crown/root fracture
pulp not exposed
Compliacted crown/root fracture
pulp exposed
Root fractured so we need to?
extract
Untreated complicated crown fractures are painful and will ultimately cause ____
periapical dz
Endodontic indication
fractured teeth
pulpitis
tooth luxation/avulsion
crown reduction- disarming, base narrow canines, soft tissue trauma after resections
certain types of dental caries
Advantages of endodontics
less invasive than extraction
preserves tooth function and integrity of jaw
more fun to do than extractions
Disadvantages of endodontics
expensive
longer anesthetic time
special instruments and training
Vital Pulpotomy objective is to
maintain a viable tooth that will continue to mature
the pulp is necessary to maintain dentin- w/o viable pulp, the tooth will become dehydrated and more brittle over time
Vital pulpotomy can be done in
young animals <18-24m
sooner the better
>80% initial success rate when <48hrs
Vital pulpotomy best success when?
planned procedure
monitor at least yearly- twice yearly better
Complete root canal
maintains tooth function but tooth is dead
mature tooth >24m
remove pulp, fill root canal, seal apex and lateral canals**
apical delta
lateral canal
complete filling of root canal seals apical delta and lateral canals preventing contamination in dentinal tubules from escaping from the tooth and causing inflam/destruction of the tooth supporting structures
