Q

Why do hypsodont teeth in particular require frequent vet attention?

A

Because they continuously grow throughout life, so they often present problems for the animals

Q

What are the types of brachygnathia and what do they mean?

A

Brachygnathia inferior = shortening of the mandible
Brachygnathia superior = shortening of the maxillae

23
Q

What type of dog is brachygnathia superior seen in?

A

brachycephalic dog breeds

24
Q

What are 4 reasons why congenital abnormalities occur?

A

Hereditary
drugs
toxic plants
infectious

25
Q

What is epitheliogenesis imperfecta? Where in the oral cavity is this seen most?

A

hereditary anomaly leading to large defects in the skin (improper formation of epidermis/epithelium)
seen most in tongue

26
Q

How is epitheliogenesis imperfecta inherited? How can you tell it’s this abnormality instead of something else?

A

autosomal recessive trait in cattle, horses, pigs
there are sharp edges, abrupt defects in the epithelium, bilaterally recessive (no inflammation

27
Q

Define the following terms:
Stomatitis
Cheilitis
Pharyngitis
Glossitis
Gingivitis
Tonsilitis

A

Stomatitis: inflammation of the oral cavity
Cheilitis: inflammation of the lips
Pharyngitis: inflammation of the pharynx
Glossitis: inflammation of the tongue
Gingivitis: inflammation of the gums
Tonsilitis: inflammation of the tonsils

28
Q

What are Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORLs)? What is the cause?

A

Basically the cat equivalent of cavities, often start at the sub gingival neck or upper root of cheek teeth
cause = idiopathic

29
Q

With Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORLs), are you more likely to see them in a young or old cat? Are they painful?

A

old
yes painful

30
Q

What are the lesions in the circles? This is a 12 y/o cat with no other pathologies

A

Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORLs)

31
Q

What is Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis? (EOTRH) What does it target? What would you see to give you this diagnosis?

A

painful and progressive lesion of older horses, combination of cement hyperplasia and lysis
targets canines and incisors
Diagnosis: bulbous enlargement of intra-alveolar part of teeth

32
Q

What is odontogenic dysplasia? What species do you see this in? What does it result in? How do you diagnose it?

A

Dysplastic growth of molar teeth
Seen in rodents
Results in malocclusion, hyper salivation, emaciation
Diagnosis: palpate nodular hard swellings along ventral mandible or along dorsal surface of maxilla

33
Q

This is a rodent skull. What are these hard swellings?

A

odontogenic dysplasia

34
Q

What is Chronic Ulcerative Paradental Stomatitis (CUPS)? What is its other name? What is the typical signalment for CUPS?

A

Hypersensitivity reaction to gram (-) bacteria associated with periodontal disease
AKA kissing ulcers
Signalment: middle aged white breed dogs

35
Q

What are the gross lesions of chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis (CUPS)? Which teeth are most significantly affected?

A

gross lesions: buccal ulceration in areas of contact b/t mucosal and teeth affected by gingivitis, plaque, and calculus
maxillary canine and carnassial teeth usually most affected

36
Q

You’re looking at the dorsal surface of the mouth of a small white breed dog. What are the lesions circled?

A

Chronic Ulcerative Paradental Stomatitis (CUPS)

37
Q

What are the gross lesions in calf diphtheria/oral necrobacillosis?

A

yellow-grey, well-demarcated necrosis with a hyperaemic (red) rim
often a dry appearance

38
Q

This is the tongue of a young calf. What are the lesions?

A

Oral necrobacillosis/calf diphtheria

39
Q

What is oral necrobacillosis/calf diphtheria caused by?

A

Young

41
Q

What is the histologic lesion seen with oral necrobacillosis/calf diphtheria (that we need to know?)

A

42
Q

What is wooden tongue/actinobacillosis caused by?
