According to “Assessment of apical periodontitis in dogs and humans: a review” by Menzies, Reiter, Lewis, what is the most common cause of persistent, asymptomatic periapical disease following endodontic tx in humans?
continued intraradicular microbial presence within the complex apical root canal system: lack of ascetic control, poor access cavity design, missed apical and non-apical ramifications, inadequate instrumentation and debridement, marginal temporary or permanent restoration leakage
According to “Assessment of apical periodontitis in dogs and humans: a review” by Menzies, Reiter, Lewis, what are the four stages in the development of apical periodontitis?
pulp exposed, pulp becomes colonized by oral bacteria, inflammatory response (pulpitis) occurs, pulp becomes necrotic
According to “Assessment of apical periodontitis in dogs and humans: a review” by Menzies, Reiter, Lewis, what is condensing osteitis? does it occur in dogs?
in low grade pulpitis, residual infection following endo tx leads to a net increase in bone production rather than destruction as a result of increased osteoblastic acvitiy; dogs can, however, typically it is seen as asymptomatic and the diagnosis needs to be supported with histopathology not just rads so underrepresented in dogs
According to “Assessment of apical periodontitis in dogs and humans: a review” by Menzies, Reiter, Lewis, what type of bacteria is associated with endodontic infection?
90% bacteria are obligate anaerobes in intact teeth, pulp exposure teeth almost 70% obligate anaerobes within their apical third

According to “Assessment of apical periodontitis in dogs and humans: a review” by Menzies, Reiter, Lewis, in humans more than half of periapical granulomas contain epithelial tissue of which <20% are cysts. Of those cysts, <50% are pocket cysts and the remainder are true cysts. Are these common in dogs? Where do true cysts originate from? pocket cyst?
Uncommon in dogs (mostly dentigerous cysts, no true cysts in dogs); true cysts originate from proliferation of the cell rests of Malassez (from Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath); molecular mechanisms stimulate epithelial cell proliferation and promote bone resorption; pocket cysts are an extension of the root canal cavity wall of neutrophils at apical foramina forms in response to microbes in root canal; periapical cysts do NOT occur in same frequency or presentation as in humans. Periapical cysts in dogs are RARE in literature and frequently don’t have histo to support their origin
According to “Assessment of apical periodontitis in dogs and humans: a review” by Menzies, Reiter, Lewis, Grossman adapted Fisher’s theory of different zones related to bone infection and applied it to endodontic infection to explain endo infections resulting in periapical osteolytic (radiolucent) and periapical osteosclerotic (radiopaque) lesions.

According to “Class I restoration of maxillary first molar caries in a dog” by Ritchie, what are dental caries? are they common in dogs? if so, where?
plaque induced demineralization of teeth caused by bacteria fermenting carbohydrates leading to production of acids that demineralize enamel and dentin. Dentin is invaded by bacteria undermining enamel which collapses leading to cavitation. They are dark brown/black in appearance. More common in humans than dogs. In dogs typically distal mandibular M1 occlusal surface, maxillary molar teeth, and prominent developmental grooves (really maxillary M1 occlusal surface and mandibular M1 distal occlusal surface)
According to “Class I restoration of maxillary first molar caries in a dog” by Ritchie, what are treatment options?
if no near pulp exposure, R/C; if near pulp exposure, blushing within 2mm of pulp indirect pulp capping should be performed; if pulp exposure RCT or XSS; if advanced enough and loss of architecture of tooth necessary recommend extraction
According to “Class I restoration of maxillary first molar caries in a dog” by Ritchie, what “forms” need to be created to provide the proper cavity prep?
first outline form (or outer circumference of cavity) and resistance form (shape and placement of cavity walls); slight undermining is performed to provide retention form (restoration withstand dislodgment during mastication); final cavity prep to remove unsupported enamel and decayed dentin (usually w margin trimmers or curette)
According to “Class I restoration of maxillary first molar caries in a dog” by Ritchie, what is the incidence of dental caries in dogs? why is it less common than in humans?
5.3%; much less common than humans, dogs eat a diet with fewer fermentable carbs and have a higher salivary pH that buffer acid by products from bacteria, also conical shaped teeth w wider interdental spacing for less food impaction and retention.
According to “Class I restoration of maxillary first molar caries in a dog” by Ritchie, what is the most likely region within a tooth to develop a carious lesion? is there any breed, age, or gender predisposition for caries?

According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, what is the basic process of making a metal cast from an impression?
a VPS impression of a prepared tooth has fine ground high strength gypsum dental stone poured into the impression on a vibrator to prevent air bubbles. it is allowed to set and removed from the impression. The cast has a base made with gypsum. A die is cut from the cast for the prepped tooth. A sealant is placed on the die to act as the cement space, it is light cured and liquid separating agent is brushed onto surface to provide ability to manually remove dental wax pattern from die. Die is dipped in heated dental wax. pattern wax is applied to the die to create a replica of the prepared tooth. A wax sure is attached to act as a channel for molten metal to create prosthetic. The wax pattern, sprue, and sprue base are placed inside casting ring, Gypsum based investment material poured inside casting ring and in pressure container to remove air bubbles, and placed in oven for 1h to burn out the wax. Once the wax melts a space will remain where the sprue and wax pattern were. To cast the meta alloy (typically nickel-based) centrifuged crucible ring and molten metal is cast by centrifugal force into space previously occupied by wax.The investment is removed, allowed to cool and removed from the underlying metal prosthesis that is then micro blasted inside and outside to remove gypsum and created rougher bonding surface for cement. Sprue is cut away and calipers used to check thickness of restoration and rubber disk used to smooth outside.
According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, what is a cast? a die?
Cast is positive reproduction ; die represents a single tooth replicated
According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, what is the purpose of surfactant spray applied over the VPS impression prior to gypsum stone?
surfactant spray is applied to render the surface of the impression material hydrophilic (as it is hydrophobic). This enhances the ability of gypsum product to flow into the impression and capture maximum detail.
According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, what are dental waxes made up of?
synthetic waxes and natural waxes from minerals, plants, or animals; pigments are added for color. Can have added gums, fats, fatty acids, oils, and various resins.
According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, steps of lost wax casting.
Steps in lost waxing technique
- Impression
- Stone model and base
- Die cut from model
- Sealer on die and wax applied
- Wax sprue and wax base attached and place in casting ring and filed with gypsum and pressure and fired
- Investment casting made from burned out wax with centrifuge then cooled and casting removed sandblast inside cut of sprue and polish to shape
According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, what are pattern waxes?
casting waxes used to create model of dental restoration such as a crown. Lost wax technique uses a wax pattern to define a space within a stone like material. Wax is eliminated by melting or burning pattern and casting the space into metal. Wax should not leave a residue!
According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, what is the benefit to using a metal alloy?
cheaper, strength, biocompatibility, resistance to wear
According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, what is divesting?
Once the investment is cooled and the metal has solidified, the investment material is broken away from the casting=divesting.
According to “Lost wax casting technique for metal crown fabrication” by McCoy, what is used to remove the remaining gypsum and slightly roughen the interior surface of the restoration?
ultrafine aluminum oxide particles
According to “Oral osteoma in 6 dogs” by Volker, Luskin, what is an osteoma?
benign neoplasm composed of histologically normal mature compact and/or trabecular bone, a continuously slow growing mass, does not cause clinical signs unless it interferes w adjacent structures or causes occlusal dysfunction. Does not cause bone destruction or lysis, no documentation of malignant transformation.
