B. Dental caries in pigs most commonly affect the incisor teeth (premolar)
C. Periodontal disease most commonly affects the cheek teeth

Select the correct muscle / attachment pair.
A. Temporalis muscle, masseteric fossa
B. Digastric muscle, masseteric fossa
C. Masseter muscle, coronoid process
D. Pterygoid muscle, angular process
**D. Pterygoid muscle, angular process
**
The temporalis muscle attaches to the coronoid process
The digastric muscle attaches to the ventromedial border of the mandible
The masseter muscle attaches to the masseteric fossa and angular process
The pterygoid muscle attaches to the angular process
According to Kling and Marretta in JVD 2023’s “Approach and Interfragmentary Stabilization of Caudal Mandibular Fracture in the Cat”, select the correct statement as it pertains to this case series
A. Following fracture fixation, all 3 cats required supplemental nutrition via E-tube for several weeks
B. All interfragmentary wires required removal at follow-up due to presence of pilot hole widening or mucosal irritation
C. Inadvertent trauma to the cementum and dentin of a tooth during interfragmentary wire placement necessitates follow-up extraction after fracture healing
D. Although the recommendation is 5-10mm, the drilled holes in these cases were placed ~3-5 mm from the fx edge without complication.
**
D. Although the recommendation is 5-10mm, the drilled holes in these cases were placed ~3-5 mm from the fx edge without complication.
**
A. Following fracture fixation, all 3 cats required supplemental nutrition via E-tube for several weeks (none of the cats required their E-tubes except for meds, all ate well)
B.All interfragmentary wires required removal at follow-up due to presence of pilot hole widening or mucosal irritation (none of the wires required removal)
C. Inadvertent trauma to the cementum and dentin of a tooth during interfragmentary wire placement necessitates follow-up extraction after fracture healing (the damaged tooth in this case appeared to remain viable and was left in situ)
According to White et al in JVD 2022 article “Long-term outcomes of horses undergoing Unileratal Mandibular Condylectomy and Meniscectomy for TMJ Disease” Which of the following statement is false:

B. All horses returned to eating their normal diet of hay and grain as well as a normal grazing routine post surgery
C. The most common cause of TMJ damage in this study was trauma
D. No horse developed mandibular drift, difficulty masticating, or ankylosis of the TMJ after UMC
C. The most common cause of TMJ damage was INFECTION
According to Greene et al in JVD 2022 “The anatomical relationship between the mandibular first molar roots and the Mandibular canal based on skull type and breed size”. Which of the following statements is True?

B. Straddle roots – uncommon (12 patients, 20 straddle root teeth); more common in Mesaticephalic regardless of size
C. Lingual root location most common in dolichocephalic dogs (64.6% of total roots, 79.2% of dolichocephalic patients having at least one root dorsally)
D. Buccal root location most common (50% of all roots evaluated, 64.2% of all dogs had at least one root in lingual position)
A is True
A. Vast majority (85.2%) has mesial and distal roots in the same position relative to the MC bilaterally

D. LINGUAL root location most common (50% of all roots evaluated, 64.2% of all dogs had at least one root in lingual position)
