To avoid tetracycline staining, tetracyclines should not be administered to pregnant bitches or what age of puppies?
Boy. Developmental structural tooth defects in dogs - experience from veterinary dental referral practice and review of the literature. Frontiers 2016.
Puppies < 6 months old
What is the mechanism of action of tetracycline staining?
Tetracycline binds irreversibly to and forms complexes with calcium orthophosphate in affected teeth
Produces no structual weakness: no treatment necessary
Germination is seen most commonly in what breed?
Boy. Developmental structural tooth defects in dogs - experience from veterinary dental referral practice and review of the literature. Frontiers 2016.
Boxers
What is the difference between enamel hypoplasia and enamel hypomineralization?
AVDC nomenclature
Enamel hypoplasia: due to inadequate deposition of enamel matrix
Enamel hypomineralization: inadequate mineralization of enamel matrix. crowns covered with soft enamel that may wear quickly
What is the definition of fusion/fused teeth?
AVDC nomenclature
Combining of adjacent tooth germs and resulting in partial or complete union of the developing teeth; also called synodontia
What is the definition of concrescence?
AVDC nomenclature
Fusion of roots of two or more teeth at the cementum level
What is the defintion of fused roots?
AVDC nomenclature
Fusion of the roots of the same tooth
What is the definition of germination?
AVDC nomenclature
A single tooth bud’s attempt to divide partially (cleft of crown) or completely (presence of an identical supernumerary tooth) also called twinning
These teeth show examples of what defect?
Partial germination
What structure promotes deposition of cementum onto newly formed dentin?
Hernandez. Morphology of the Cementoenamel Junction in Permanent Teeth of Dogs: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study. JVD 2011
Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS)
In DeLaurier’s 2006 study “Analysis of the characteristics and mineralization status of feline teeth using scanning electron microscopy,” what Choquet types were most prevalent?
Hernandez. Morphology of the Cementoenamel Junction in Permanent Teeth of Dogs: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study. JVD 2020 cited this paper
Type 3 and Type 4
Authors concluded that the high prevalence of type 4 CEJs was correlated with the high prevalence of dental resorption
What Choquet type of cementoenamel junction morphology should not be developmentally possible and what is the developmental explanation for its existence?
Hernandez. Morphology of the Cementoenamel Junction in Permanent Teeth of Dogs: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study. JVD 2020
Type 2: Enamel overlaps cementum, should not be possible since development of enamel ceases before that of cementum
Can be explained by hyperactive Hertwig’s sheath as happens in formation of enamel pearls
In Hernandez’s 2020 study “Morphology of the Cementoenamel Junction in Permanent Teeth of Dogs: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study,” what Type of CEJ was most common?
Type 3: present alone or in combo in 91% samples
In Verstraete’s 2011 study “Clinical signs and histopathologic findings in dogs with odontogenic cysts: 41 cases (1995–2010),” what was the most common type of odontogenic cyst?
JAVMA 2011
Dentigerous cyst 71% of cysts
In Verstraete’s 2011 study “Clinical signs and histopathologic findings in dogs with odontogenic cysts: 41 cases (1995–2010),” how many dogs had cysts suggestive of odontogenic keratocysts and what was their distribution?
JAVMA 2011
9/41
all in maxilla and surrounded roots of erupted teeth
In Verstraete’s 2011 study “Clinical signs and histopathologic findings in dogs with odontogenic cysts: 41 cases (1995–2010),” how many cysts were associated with the unerupted first premolar tooth?
JAVMA 2011
30
83%
In Verstraete’s 2011 study “Clinical signs and histopathologic findings in dogs with odontogenic cysts: 41 cases (1995–2010),” what skull type and breeds of dog were overrepresented?
JAVMA 20111
Brachycephalic
Boxers 24%
Pugs 20%
What are potential oral cyst sources?
Babbit. Incidence of Radiographic Cystic Lesions Associated With Unerupted Teeth in Dogs. JVD 2016.
tooth germ
enamel epithelium of tooth crown
epithelial rests of Malassez
dental lamina remnants
basal layer of oral epithelium
What are the two defining histologic features of dentigerous cysts?
Babbit. Incidence of Radiographic Cystic Lesions Associated With Unerupted Teeth in Dogs. JVD 2016.
stratified squamous epithelial lining
lack of keratinization
When eruption fails, ameloblast cells make up the squamous epithelial lining seen in dentigerous cysts
In Babbit’s 2016 study “Incidence of Radiographic Cystic Lesions Associated With Unerupted Teeth in Dogs,” what percent of submitted cysts were dentigerous cysts?
Volker, Luskin JVD 2016
71%
