Comparison of Standard Radiography and Computed Tomography in 21 Dogs with Maxillary Masses
The oral cavity is the ____ most common location affected by tumors in dogs (answer is a number, like “sixth”)
Fourth
Comparison of Standard Radiography and Computed Tomography in 21 Dogs with Maxillary Masses
Skull radiographs showed bone involvement in ____ number of cases, whereas skull CT showed bone involvement in ____ number of cases.
First blank = 17 out of 21 (80.9%)
Second blank = 20 out of 21 (95.2%)
Comparison of Standard Radiography and Computed Tomography in 21 Dogs with Maxillary Masses
Skull radiographs showed invasion of adjacent structures by the tumor in ____ number of cases, whereas skull CT showed invasion of adjacent structures in ____ number of cases.
First blank = 6 out of 21 (30%)
Second blank = 19 out of 21 (90.4%)
Comparison of Standard Radiography and Computed Tomography in 21 Dogs with Maxillary Masses
Skull radiographs most often missed invasion into which adjacent anatomical structure, which CT was able to reveal?
The orbit
“CT findings were positive for orbital involvement in 10 dogs, while [skull radiographs] were negative for this pathologic change.”
Comparison of Standard Radiography and Computed Tomography in 21 Dogs with Maxillary Masses
What % in tissue resolution is needed to see bony changes on conventional radiography versus the % on CT?
Radiography = 5%
CT = 1% or less
Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
Which teeth are most commonly affected by feline resorptive lesions?
The mandibular third premolar teeth (307 and 407) - 10.6% were affected
Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
What percentage of cats will develop at least one tooth resorption lesion?
75%
Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
What is a Type 1 tooth resorption lesion (according to AVDC classification)? What about Type 2? Type 3?
Type 1 tooth resorption = characterized by focal or multifocal radiolucency of the tooth, with normal radiopacity and periodontal ligament space.
Type 2 = generalized decrease in radiopacity of the root that is consistent with the root being replaced by alveolar bone
Type 3 = combination of Type 1 and Type 2 features
Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
True or false - the relationship between age and tooth resorption was statistically significant

True or false - the relationship between environmental status (indoor vs. outdoor) and tooth resorption was statistically significant
False
Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
True or false - the relationship between gender and tooth resorption was statistically significant
False
Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
True or false - the relationship between FIV/FeLV status and tooth resorption was statistically significant
False
Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
True or false - the relationship between gingivitis and/or stomatitis and tooth resorption was statistically significant
True

Risk Assessment of Feline Tooth Resorption: A Portuguese Clinical Case Control Study
Which type of tooth resorption (1, 2, or 3) seems to be related to the degree of gingivitis/oral inflammation?
Type 1 ( characterized by focal or multifocal radiolucency of the tooth, with normal radiopacity and periodontal ligament space)
Oral Health Benefits of a Daily Dental Chew in Dogs
True or false: Supragingival plaque does not influence the formation of subgingival plaque formation
False - Supragingival plaque strongly influences the formation of subgingival plaque formation
Oral Health Benefits of a Daily Dental Chew in Dogs
What % of pet owners are compliant with daily tooth brushing recommendations in companion animals?
2%
Oral Health Benefits of a Daily Dental Chew in Dogs
How did the dental chew tested in this study work - what was the “method of action”?
The dental chews tested were designed to mechanically “scrape” the crowns of the teeth that come in contact with this product as dogs chew them, helping to reduce plaque and calculus accumulation
Oral Health Benefits of a Daily Dental Chew in Dogs
Which dental chew was tested in this study?
Greenies
Oral Health Benefits of a Daily Dental Chew in Dogs
Which were significantly reduced in the group of dogs who received the dental chew versus the control dogs that did not: gingivitis, halitosis, plaque, calculus?
All were significantly reduced: gingivitis, halitosis, plaque, and calculus
