Question 264

What components of furcation anatomy can impede proper diagnosis and treatment of furcation lesions?

Question 265

What estimate mean distance of horizontal bone loss is needed to exposure the furcation of a MandM1 and MaxP4 ina dog?

JVD 2022 issue 2, review on managment of furcation lesions in dogs

Answer 265

An estimated mean HBL approximately 2 to 3 mm would lead to furcation exposure in mandM1
An estimated mean HBLof approximately 5 mm would lead to furcation exposure in MaxP4

However, in humans, 6 mm of horizontal attachment loss would be needed to cause furcation exposure of the mandibular or maxillary first molars

Question 266

True or false: dog teeth often have accessory canals leading to the furcation

JVD 2022 issue 2, review on managment of furcation lesions in dogs

C. Female, wet season
D. Male, dry season

Occurrence and Progression of Dental Abnormalities in the Black Fronted Duiker (Cephalophus niger) Due to Deficient Diet and Extreme Weather Phenomena
JVD 2022 issue 2

Answer 269

A. Female, dry season

The majority of dental pathologies among the free-range animals occurred between the second and third year of observation with a higher frequency in the dry periods

Sex dimorphism in pathology: Generalized gross attrition, especially around the lower first and second molars occurred with higher frequency during the drier periods; showing more gender dimorphism (100% in females) and attrition was more prevalent with observable bone resorption between the lower right quadrant second and third molars (21%) in a similar time period since females are relatively more reluctant to increase home range area compared to males.

Question 270

In the 2022 study “Reliability of Electric Pulp Test, Cold Pulp Test or Tooth Transillumination to Assess Pulpal Health in Permanent Dog Teeth”, which test has the highest success rate at identifying non-vital teeth?

JVD 2022 issue 2

Answer 270

Electric pulp test

Question 271

What nerve fibers does the electric pulp test rely on? What fibers does the thermal pulp test rely on?

JVD 2022 issue 2

Answer 271

EPT – A -delta fibers. Relies on an ionic shift in the dentinal fluid within the dentinal tubules. By applying an electric current to the tooth surface, the ionic movement in the dentinal fluid causes a local depolarization and impulse propagation through the A-delta fibers creating the sudden, sharp pain sensation
Thermal – A-delta and C fibers. Thermal pulp testing relies on rapid temperature change of the tooth causes a sudden fluid flow within the tubules which stimulates the A-delta fiber nociceptors in the dentin-pulp complex. A gradual change in the tooth temperature, however, would rather excite C fibers and elicit a delayed, dull and diffused aching.

Question 272

Define the acquired enamel pellicle

JVD 2022 issue 3

Utilized by microbes in the oral cavity to colonize the tooth surface through protein-protein interactions and carbohydrate binding
Acts as a semi-permeable barrier regulating demineralization-mineralization processes at the tooth surface
It can prevent abrasion by working as a lubricative film
