Equine 2 Flashcards
3 hard tissues of teeth
dentin
enamel (hardest)
cementum (softest)
what are cingula
pillars on cheek surface of cheek teeth, strengthen teeth and increase SA.
can form sharp points –> ulcers
where do overgrowths most often occur
top cheek
bottom tongue
why do we see overgrowth
less fiber –> more vertical chewing
what is anisognathia
top cheek teeth are more buccal than bottom
what are you removing during odontoplasty
Sharp enamel/overgrowths that cause soft tissue trauma
Overgrowths that cause abnormal occlusal forces
Secondary dentine over pulp can be very thin. How to avoid pulp horn exposure during odontoplasty?
staged reductions ever 3-4 months
should you sedate for motorized instrument
yes
brachygnathism: what is overjet? overbite?
overjet = upper protrude rostrally (horizontal, often at angle)
overbite = upper sit ahead (vertical)
brachygnathism commonly shows overgrowth of which cheek teeth
06s and 11s
retained deciduous incisors cause permenant incisors to be displaced caudally or rostrally?
caudally
which nerve blocks do we do
mental or infraorbital
supramerary incisors are in addition to the normal __# incisors
6
tx for incisor fracture?
tetanus prophylaxis
AB
NSAID
what causes slope mouth
development abnormality of bone or painful cheek abscess where chewing one side more than the other
Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis EOTRH
resorption of crown, apical region, alveolar bone
+
proliferation of cementum
does EOTRH start center or edge incisors
edge
EOTRH signs?
not grabbing carrot
sensitive to bit
gingivitis
gingival recession
purulent tracts
why do xrays show bulbus enlargement of apex with EOTRH
hypercementation
tx for EOTRH
surgical extraction of all affected teeth
why do we see diastema?
ginigival recession as they age –> narrow apeces become more prominant
which teeth are absent in females
canines
what conditions affect canine teeth
calculus build up
EOTRH
wolf teeth are number __
5
*more common in maxilla
indications for wolf teeth removal
displaced
large
blind
fractured
mandibular
which artery sits next to the wolf tooth
Greater palantine artery
