Hale Dental Caries in Dogs
JVD June 1998
435 dogs
What was the number of dogs with Caries and where were the caries
23 dogs 5.3%
47 caries
19 (40%) Pit Fissure
17 ( 36%)Smooth surface
11(23%) Root caries
How many dogs had symmetrical lesions and what teeth were most affected
12 dogs
Fourth premolar and first and second molar teeth
Caries definition
action of microorganismon carbohydrates causing decalcification of the inorganic portions of the tooth and accompanied by the disentigration of the organic portion Latin term for “Rottness”
What stain is specific for identifying areas of carious dentin from healthy dentin
Rhodamin B
What oral substance provides minerals and antibacterial properties to protect against caries forming?
Patient’s Saliva
Which portion of the tooth is lost first in caries?
Inorganic portion first
5 Reasons dogs have a low prevalence of caries?
- little to no salivary amylase to break down starch retained in the mouth
- higher salivary pH
- diet low in fermentable carbohydrates
- conical shape of most teeth
- Lower number of cariogenic bacteria in the normal oral flora
3 Factors of Dental Caries
- Susceptible Tooth Surface
- Cariogenic Bacteria
- Dietary fermentable carbohydrates (sucrose)
WHEN ALL THREE PRESENT HIGH RISK OF CARIES
3 acids produced from carbohydrates fermented by bacteria in the mouth
Lactic, acetic, Propionic
In humans the 2 predominate bacteria associated with caries
Strep Mutans
S. Sanguis
Acids initially dissolve what from the enamel ______ causing cavitation in the ______
- Surface Hydroxyappetitie crystals
2. Planes of Retzius
Once demineralization occurs what is the progression of caries
- Hydroyappetite dissolved micro caviatations plane of Retzius
- Coalescence of the micro cavitation
- Undermining of the overlying enamel and collapse
- Then digestion by bacteria of the protein organic matrix by enzymes
How are carious lesions reversible and when is it irreversible
By remineralization mostly by minerals in the oral fluids
Irreversible when the overlying enamel and protein matrix has collapsed
Caries can be classified in three stages
- Acute
- chronic
- arrested
GV Black’s Classification of dental caries and restorations
Class 1 - Pits and fissures of Anterior and Posterior teeth
Class 2- Proximal surface of posterior teeth
Class 3 - Proximal surface of anterior teeth not involving the incisal edge
Class 4 - Proximal surface of anterior teeth involving the incisal edge
Class 5 - Cervical 1/3 of the F and L surface
Class 6 - Incisal edge of anterior teeth or cusp tips of posterior teeth
Smooth surface caries need what to start
Plague they cause a cone shaped lesion in the enamel followed by another cone shaped lesion when the penetrate the dentin. or a stacked up pattern of 2 snow cones
Pit and fissure caries need plaque to form Tor F
False it the impaction of food into the pits and fissures
What is an important feature of dentin that leads to expansion of the caries 2 things
- Spread through the tubules
2. Protein matrix provides nutritional support to the bacteria
In humans factors that increase caries formation
- Xerostomia
- decreased brushing
- hormonal imbalance
- Chronic dehydration or dry mouth
all particularly increase risk of cervical caries
What type of caries are more likely treated by extraction
Root
The single most common site for caries in the dog in this paper was?
Maxillary first molar
Dentigerous Cyst in a dog
JVD 16 1999
Sitzman
2 year old springer spaniel neutered male
Unerupted Left canine tooth.
Dentigerous cysts are
subclassification of odontogenic cysts
1. Eruption cysts
- follicular cysts (Dentigerous cysts are follicular )
