I honestly could not think of any testable questions from this article
n/a
Nomenclature and Classification of Odontogenic Tumors — Part II: Clarification of Specific Nomenclature
What are the two most common odontogenic tumors in dogs?
Canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma
Nomenclature and Classification of Odontogenic Tumors — Part II: Clarification of Specific Nomenclature
What does “acanthomatous” refer to?
Refers to prickle cells that resemble those of the epidermal stratum spinosum
Nomenclature and Classification of Odontogenic Tumors — Part II: Clarification of Specific Nomenclature
What is focal fibrous hyperplasia
It is an over-exuberant repair of fibrous connective tissue secondary to chronic gingival trauma or irritation
Nomenclature and Classification of Odontogenic Tumors — Part II: Clarification of Specific Nomenclature
What are the distinctive features of POFs?
Finely fibrillar, vascular stroma, with stellate fibroblasts resembling the periodontal ligament
Do not arise within and very rarely involve the periodontal ligament space
Nomenclature and Classification of Odontogenic Tumors — Part II: Clarification of Specific Nomenclature
What is pyogenic granuloma?
Reactive lesion of the gingiva or mucosa characterized by exuberant connective tissue proliferation in response to injury
Nomenclature and Classification of Odontogenic Tumors — Part II: Clarification of Specific Nomenclature
What is the histology like for feline inductive odontogenic tumors?
Spherical condensations of fibroblasts, resembling dental papilla, within the connective tissue stroma
Nomenclature and Classification of Odontogenic Tumors — Part II: Clarification of Specific Nomenclature
What is one of the few types of malignant odontogenic tumors described in dogs?
Ameloblastic carcinomas

Ocular Trauma Originating from within the Oral Cavity: Clinical Relevance and Histologic Findings in 10 Cases (2003–2013)
What appears to be a risk factor for traumatic injury to the globe?
Small size dog breeds (because of large, “misplaced” teeth in relatively thin bone)

What are immediate treatments for globe penetration?
Broad-spectrum abx, anti-inflammatory, E-collar, +/- tarsorrhaphy
(poor prognosis)
Modified Conservative Treatment of an Extensive Dentigerous Cyst in a Dog
What is the difference between impacted and embedded teeth?
Impacted = physical barrier that hinders eruption Embedded = lack eruptive forces
Modified Conservative Treatment of an Extensive Dentigerous Cyst in a Dog
Which teeth are most often associated with dentigerous cysts?

Modified Conservative Treatment of an Extensive Dentigerous Cyst in a Dog
What causes a dentigerous cyst to form?
Originate from a proliferation of the remaining enamel organ or reduced enamel epithelium that surrounds the crown during odontogenesis
