Q

Madibular distoclusion looks like and how to chart

A

Other terms are overshot or parrot mouth
Due to skull configuration rather than dental malalignment
Lower canines and incisors may cause trauma to the hard palate
Charting – “MAL2”
Class II malocclusion

31
Q

Class III malocclusion is called and looks like

A

Mandibular mesioclusion
Due to skull configuration rather then dental malalignment
Charting “MAL3”
Two types
Mandibular prognathism- mandible too short
Maxillary brachygnathism- maxilla too short
Both result in undershot lower jaw, and can lead to trauma to the teeth and soft tissues of the lower jaw
Almost universal occlusion seen in brachycephalics

32
Q

Class 4 malocclusion looks like

A

Maxillomandibular Asymmetry
Charting: “MAL4”

33
Q

Asymmetry in rostrocaudal direction looks like

A

(MAL4/RC) – one side of the face has mandibular mesio- or distoclusion while the other side is normal

34
Q

Asymmetry in side-to-side direction looks like

A

(MAL4/STS)– loss of the midline alignment of maxilla and mandible

35
Q

Asymmetry in dorsoventral direction looks like

A

(MAL4/DV) – results in open bite, defined as abnormal vertical space between opposing dental arches when mouth is closed

36
Q

Level bite is and looks like

A

Incisors meet exactly surface-to-surface
Causes teeth to wear against each other

37
Q

Feline oclussion

A

More uniform dental structure and malocclusions are rare
Exception- persians (brachiocephalic head configuration)
Incisor bite and canine interdigitation form dental interlock
Incisors same as in canine
Mandibular canines sit equidistant in diastema between maxillary 3rd incisor and canine (touch neither)
Mandibular premolar tooth positioned mesial to corresponding maxillary premolar
Maxillary 2nd premolar sits in space between mandibular canine and 3rd premolar
Subsequent teeth interdigitate with mandibular premolars and 1st molar situated lingual to maxillary teeth

38
Q

Incisive papilla

A

Small fold of mucous membrane situated at the anterior end of the raphe of the hard palate near the openings of the incisive canals

39
Q

Stains on teeth are

A

From wear and exposure of dentin→ brown discoloration of the tooth surface that cannot be removed
Some drugs can also cause staining (ie: tetracycline)
Need to distinguish from internal staining (dead teeth)

40
Q

Abrasions on teeth are

A

Wearing of teeth caused by friction against other teeth
charting-”AT”
Level bite

41
Q

Enamel hypoplasia is

A

Can be caused by trauma or high fever which can temporarily prevent enamel production
Tooth surfaces are rough, flaky, often with exposure brown dentin
Charting – “E/H”

42
Q

Caries

A

Most common on the occlusal surface of molars in the dog
Defect in the enamel +/- dentin
Requires extraction
Charting – “CA”

43
Q

Fractures in teeth are based on

A

Depth of fracture
Part of tooth affected:
Crown, root, or both
Age of fracture
Chronic – present for a period of time
Pulp appears as black/brown
Acute – fresh injury
Pulp appears as red

44
Q

A

Enamel only

45
Q

Uncomplicated fracture includes

A

Enamel and dentin

46
Q

Complicated fracture includes

A

All the way done to the pulp

47
Q

How to chart a tooth fracture

A

During charting a jagged line is drawn over the area of the fracture
Chip fracture
Loss of enamel only
Usually do not require treatment
Charting – “EF”
A jagged line drawn over the area of the fracture

48
Q

Uncomplicated crown fracture is

A

Involves both enamel and dentin but has not entered pulp chamber (use explorer)
May or may not require treatment
Charting – “UCF”
a jagged line drawn over the area of the fracture

49
Q

Uncomplicated Crown-Root Fracture is

A

Enamel and dentin are involved but not pulp chamber
However, fracture extends below the gumline
May or may not require treatment depending on significance of damage
Charting – “UCRF”
a jagged line drawn over the area of the fracture

50
Q

Complicated Crown Fracture is

A

Penetrates enamel and dentin and exposes pulp cavity
Requires extraction or endodontic treatment
Charting – “CCF”
a jagged line drawn over the area of the fracture
Complicated = it enters the pulp cavity
Endodontic treatment = treating the pulp cavity (root canal)

51
Q

Complicated Crown-Root Fracture is

A

Involves enamel and dentin and exposes pulp chamber
Extends below the gum line
Requires extraction or endodontic and possible periodontal treatment
Charting – “CCRF”
A jagged line drawn over the area of the fracture

52
Q

Root fracture is

A

Involves the root
Tooth often mobile
Usually requires extraction
Charting – “RF”
A jagged line drawn over the area of the fracture

53
Q

Endodontic disease is

A

Disease of the pulp chamber (the inside of the tooth)
Can be due to fractures, trauma or iatrogenic injury (ie: heating up the tooth during a dental prophy)
May have external evidence during the oral exam:
complicated crown or crown-root fracture
draining tract at apex of tooth
discoloration of tooth
May only be evident on radiographs → lucent areas at the apex of the teeth

54
Q

Tooth discolouration is

A

Normal healthy tooth is white
Brown - if wear has exposed dentin
Black - if pulp has been exposed (extract or root canal)
Pink, purple, tan, or grey - indicates pulpal hemorrhage and tooth death (extract or root canal)
Most commonly due to trauma
Colour changes as tooth dies – pink, purple, tan, then grey

55
Q

Luxation is

A

Partial displacement of the tooth from the socket
Tooth may still be viable and immediate repositioning and splinting is recommended

56
Q

Avulsion is

A

Complete displacement of the tooth from the socket
Must be replaced immediately if to be saved
Special solutions available to preserve the lost tooth
Clients may place the tooth in milk as a first aid measure
Endodontic therapy is required to save the tooth
If cannot save tooth - clean socket where tooth was lost and suture gingiva closed

57
Q

Tooth reabsorption is

A

Very common in cats, uncommon in dogs
Resorption of the hard structures of the tooth (enamel, cementum, and dentin) until the pulp chamber is exposed and eventually the crown of the tooth is lost
Charting = “TR”

58
Q

What does tooth absorption look like

A

May be visible evidence on oral exam:
Focal gingivitis
Loss of enamel +/- dentin (rough spot on the tooth)
Visible pulp exposure
Complete crown loss
May only be evident on x-rays → YOU MUST DO DENTAL X RAYS TO APPROPRIATELY PRACTICE FELINE DENTISTRY

59
Q

Gingivitis is

A

Inflammation of gingiva
Can progress until attached gingiva becomes involved
Marginal gingiva becomes swollen, edematous, and encroaches on the crown of the tooth
Considered to be reversible

60
Q

Periodontitis is

A

Most common oral disease among cats and dogs
This is the result if dental disease is not treated at the gingivitis stage→ destruction of gingiva, alveolar bone, periodontal ligaments and tooth structure
Radiographs will show bone loss →permanent
Prevention is the best treatment for periodontal disease
Unfortunately, there is usually gross calculus, bone loss, and gum recession present before the client seeks assistance

61
Q

Stomatitis is

A

Inflammation/infection of the mucous lining of the mouth
More extensive than gingivitis
Common in cats, less often in dogs
Typically see extremely red and inflamed tissues in the oral cavity
Often there is an underlying disease causing lowered resistance of oral cavity to infection ie: FeLV, FIV
Some cats have unusually strong immune response to the components of plaque
May require full mouth extractions or aggressive plaque control measures

62
Q

Uremic ulceration is and c/s

A

Seen in patients with advanced renal disease
Clinical signs include
Ulcerations seen on tip of tongue
Increased calculus formation
Periodontal disease
One reason why preoperative blood panels should be run

63
Q

Oronasal fistula is

A

Result from advanced periodontal disease
Often find a deep pocket on the palatal aspect of the canines
Inflammation and infection has eroded the bone between the canine tooth and the nasal cavity
Often present but not diagnosed before extraction of the canine
Need to be closed carefully in order to prevent reoccurrence
Charting – “ONF”

64
Q

Granulomas

A

Common
Result from periodontal disease, irritation, or foreign body
Can be part of eosinophilic granuloma complex in the cat
Biopsy to be sure!
Benign

65
Q

Gingival hyperplasia

A

Gums simply grow over teeth
Often secondary to plaque accumulation
Create pseudopockets (not from bone or attachment loss)
Can trap food material or even prevent normal chewing
Common in brachycephalics, especially Boxers
Treatment = gingivectomy removal of excess gingiva
Benign

66
Q

Oral papillomas

A

Common in young dogs < 2 years of age
Warty growths on the oral mucosa +/- lips
Caused by papillomavirus
Usually resolve on their own
Benign

67
Q

Fibromatous Epulis

A

Gingival tumor made of fibrous tissue
Generally responds well to excision
benign

68
Q

Ossifying Epulis

A

Similar to fibromatous epulis but contains bone
Usually needs wide excision including part of the jaw
Benign

69
Q

Acanthomatous Epulis

A

Primarily composed of epithelial cells
Tumor of the gums
Tends to invade bone
Malignant

70
Q

Malignant Melanoma

A

Found on any site within the oral cavity
Locally invasive and highly metastatic
Poor prognosis as reoccurrence is common

71
Q

Fibrosarcoma

A

Create fleshy, protruding firm masses
As grow can become ulcerated and infected
More problems with local growth rather than metastasis

72
Q

Squamous cell carcinoma

A

Found on any site within oral cavity
Epithelial cell type

73
Q

Stages of tooth reabsorption

A

Staging system:
TR1 through TR5 → progression from mild dental hard tissue loss through complete crown loss
Painful if pulp is exposed
Usually start at the neck of the tooth

74
Q

Cause and treatment of tooth reabsorption

A

No known cause, only treatment is extraction if lesion involves the neck or crown
Lesions just involving the root may be monitored
