Q

How does the oral anatomy of a horse contribute to the development of disease*

A

They are obligate nasal breathers. If the soft palate becomes dorsally displaced this can cause dz. common in racehorses

Q

What are the anatomical layers of the tooth and their features?

A

From hardest to softest is enamel, dentin, and cementum

The tooth sits in the alveoli and is held by the peridontal ligament. The pulp cavity provides blood and nerve supply

Q

Compare brachydont and hypsodont teeth

A

Brachydont teeth are low crowned and have enamel on the crown only. Typical of humans, carnivores, and swine.

Hypsodont teeths have a high croms with layers of invaginated enamel in the infundibulum. They grow throughout the animals life and are typical to herbivores

common in dogs only

It locally invades bone but doesn’t metastasize

95
Q

What are the gross and histologic features of canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma

A

grey-pink papillary and nodular growths around the alveolus

Histologically there are odontogenic epithelium sheets

96
Q

How do you distinguish FEPLO and canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma?*

A

Use radiographs to see if there is bone invasion. If not it is FEPLO.

Or look at histo. In FEPLO it will look like the stroma of the periodontal ligament

97
Q

What are the gross lesions of squamous cell carcinoma*

A

Grossly it forms irregular nodules and ulcers that are locally invasive into the bone. Commonly found on the ventral tongue > gingiva > tonsils

98
Q

What are the behavioural and histologic characteristics of malignant melanoma? What species is it common in?*

A

It is the #1 most common oral tumor in dogs but is rare in cats. It is aggressive and will metastasize very fast. The metastasis or aggression of the tumor is not correlated with the pigmentation.

Histologically it may or may not have pigment and can have a varied appearance and thus has a risk of misdiagnosis.

99
Q

How do you diagnose malignant melanoma at necropsy?*

A

Cut the lesion and rub it on a surface. If it smudges black that it confirms melanoma. Normal would be red (hemorrhage)

100
Q

What species is fibrosarcoma common in and how does it behave?*

A

It is the 2nd most common oral tumor in dogs usually targeting young large breed dogs like golden retrievers

In cats it is the 3rd most common oral tumor

It grows a lot and can invade local tissue. There is a high chance of recurrence after excision

101
Q

What are the gross and histologic features of fibrosarcoma? How does histological features impact tumor behaviour clinically?*

A

Grossly there is unilateral swelling on the face resulting in ‘potato face’

Histologically is it quite boring. A high-low fibrosarcoma is when the tumor is boring histologically but aggressive clinically
