Q

How do you clean a cast metal crown?

A

Tin oxide prophylaxis powder is mixed with water or glycerin to remove most surface debris and calculus. Paste dries and can become abrasive. The final step of polishing, after the surface is smooth, is to
achieve a high gloss value.

Q

What is pitting corrosion?

A

pitting corrosion occurs in a localized area where the oxide layer of the base metal like iron, nickel, and chromium is degraded in an acidic environment
with rapid dissolution of the underlying metal.

Q

What is stress corrosion?

A

Stress corrosion occurs when mechanical stress and a corrosive environment exert
a negative effect on the metal resulting in a crack or hertzian fractures.

26
Q

Where is stress corrosion most likely?

A

Stress corrosion can occur at margins due to over bending, over burnishing, or malleting the metal.

27

Q

A dark unaesthetic discoloured crown is likely the result of what?

29
Q

What components of the mouth lead to the corrosion of metals?

A

Sulfur compounds from food.
Chloride ions from saliva
Phosphoric acid, acetic acid and lactic acid.
All alter the oral pH leading to corrosion.

30
Q

What is polishability of a metal referring to?

A

The alloy’s hardness.

31
Q

Is a hard alloy easier or harder to polish and indent?

A

A high hardness scale (Knoop’s hardness number) is more difficult to polish and indent.

32
Q

What is the cavosurface margin of a tooth prepped for a crown?

A

The cavo surface angle is the angle of tooth structure formed by the junction of a prepared (cut) wall and the external surface of the tooth. The actual junction is referred to as cavosurface margin.

33
Q

List the six categories of luxation injuries in order of increasing severity and likelihood of complications.

A

Concussion, subluxation, lateral luxation, extrusive luxation, intrusive luxation and avulsion.

34
Q

What gauge wire will be best used to splint a luxated tooth?

A

24g

35
Q

When is root canal done after splinting a luxated tooth?

A

7 to 10 days.

36
Q

What is the dental formula of a swedish lynx (largest wild cat in europe)

A

2x(3/3I, 1/1C, /2, 1/1M)

37
Q

What are two common variations in dentition seen in the Swedish Lynx?

A

Supernumerary roots (upper 3rd premolars, lower first molars) and peg teeth (supernumerary lower molar behind the lower first molar)

38
Q

Does interstitial fluid drain through lymphatics or through other routes, such as extravascular pathways out of the pulp?

A

In a 2010 study, The dog dental pulp contained no vascular structures lined with lymphatic endothelium. Therefore concluded interstitial fluid drains through extravascular pathways out of pulp.

39
Q

What are the two basic functions of saliva?

A

(1) supply digestive enzymes - composition varies between species
(2) mucus component act as a proctective lubricant

40
Q

Under resting conditions – state whether saliva contains large amounts or little amounts of the following:

  • Bicarbonate
  • Potassium
  • Sodium
  • Chloride
A
  • Bicarb - high amounts
  • Potassium - high amounts
  • Sodium - low amounts
  • Chloride - low amounts
41
Q

Where are mucous cells located?

What is mucus composed of?

A

Mucous cells are located throughout the GI tract just below the surface of epithelium.

Mucus is composed of water, electrolytes and glycoproteins.

42
Q

What component of mucus acts as a buffering agent?

A

Glycoproteins.

Some species saliva contains bicarbonate.

43
Q

Compared to plasma - does saliva have higher or lower concentrations of the folllwoing:

  • Bicarbonate
  • Potassium
  • Sodium
  • Chloride
A

There is higher concentration of bicarb and potassium in saliva compared to plasma, a/

Saliva has a lower concentration of sodium and chloride (1/7 and 1/10 respetively in humans) to that in plasma.

44
Q

A conditiion causing significant hypersalivation can lead to what being depleated?

A

Potassium can be lost

45
Q

What regulates saliva secretion?

A

The autonomic nervous system. Basal flow rate results from parasympathetic efferent signals/impulses from the salivary nuclei in the medulla oblongata.

46
Q

What is the average pH of saliva in a dog and cat? In ruminants?

A

Dog and cat: Salivary pH 7.5

Ruminants: Salivary pH is even more alkaline at 8.2

47
Q

Where are the lingual and labial salivary glands located? Do they produce small or large amounts of saliva?

A

Lingual and labial salivary glands are located with in the caudal tongue and submucosa of the lips respectively.

They produce minute amounts of saliva.

48
Q

Where are buccal glands and palatal salivary glands found?

A

The submucosa of the buccal cavity is lined with buccal glands.

The palatal glands are found on the ventral surface of the SOFT palate.

49
Q

List the main salivary glands in a dog. State if they are serous or mixed glands.

A
  • Parotid glands – serous types
  • Mandibular glands – mixed
  • Sublingual glands – mucous type
  • Zygomatic glands – only found in dog and cat of all the domestic species!!

Cats also have two molar salivary glands – mixed

CHECK!!

According to Dr. Reiter: Parotid – mixed seromucous or serous

Mandibular, sublingual and zygomatic are all mixed.

50
Q

What salivary gland is unique to the dog and cat (no other domestic species has it)?

Unique to the cat?

A

The zygomatic glands are unique to the dog and cat.

Cats have molar salivary glands.

51
Q

What nutrients does salia provide to the microorganisms in the rumen of ruminants?

A

Phosphate, bicarb – to neutralize large moutns of acid

Nitrogen phosphorus and sodium are nutrients provided to the microorganisms of the rumen.

May also act as antifoaming agent.

52
Q

What is the main salivary gland of ruminants (supplying large volumes of fluid to the rumen)?

A

The parotid gland.

Provides 6-16L of saliva/day in a sheep.

Provides 60-160L/day in a cow

53
Q

What important component of ssaliva in omnivores (rat, pig, human) converts starch to maltose

A

Amylase

54
Q

Does gingival crevicular fluid (GCR) increase or decrease with periodontal disease?

A

Increases with PD

55
Q

Normal gingival crevicular fluid is composed of what?

A

proteins, antibodies, antigens, enzymes, and cellular elements.

Compounds can be host derived or bacteria derived

56
Q

What is the most common disease of the salivary glands in dogs?

A

Mucocele

57
Q

Describe the cells lining a mucocele.

A

Non epithelial, non-secretory cells that are primarily fibroblasts and capillaries.

58
Q

What age is a dog with a mucocele most likely to be?

A

2-4 years

59
Q

What breeds are more prone to mucocele development?

A

Miniature poodles and GSD

60
Q

What gland is most commonly associated with salivary mucocele development?

A

Sublingual

61
Q

Sialoliths are sometimes associated with mucoceles. What are the sialoliths composed of?

A

Calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.

62
Q

Due to the polystomatic anatomy and close proximity- the mandibular salivary gland and sublingual salivary gland are removed together - at what level is it recommended to transect the duct (ie. what structure is present at this level)?

A

The sublingual salivary duct is transected and ligated at the area of the lingual nerve. The duct defect rarely occurs rostral to the lingual nerve.
