16
Q

An accumulation of oral debris bacteria beneath the tissue or biting the operculum with the opposing tooth leads to inflammation of the soft tissues, which is called what?

A

Pericoronitis or operculitis

17
Q

What is an inherited condition that occurs primarily in West Highland white terriers and is when non-neoplastic bone forms in the region of the temporomandibular joint and occasionally extends into the mandible?

A

Cranial Mandibular Osteodystrophy

18
Q

How do you treat Cranial Mandibular Osteodystrophy?

A

Patients are treated symptomatically for pain, which usually lessens as the patient gets older

19
Q

Mandibular periostitis ossificans occurs in what dogs?

A

Immature large breed dogs

20
Q

What does mandibular periostitis ossificans cause?

A

A unilateral swelling of the ventral portion of the mandible, caused by the formation of periosteal new bone, which is thought to be an inflammatory condition that spontaneously disappears

21
Q

What happens if a fractured primary tooth is left untreated?

A

It may result in abscessation

22
Q

What can abscessation cause?

A

A defect in the enamel production known as enamel hypoplasia and possibly a fistula

23
Q

What can supernumerary teeth cause?

A

Malpositioning and noneruption of other teeth
Severe plaque accumulation
Predispose to periodontal disease owing to the lack of normal cleaning action.

24
Q

How do you treat an animal with supernumerary teeth?

A

Extraction after intraoral radiographic evaluation to differentiate between deciduous and permanent teeth

25
Q

How do you differentiate between deciduous and permanent teeth?

A

Deciduous teeth are smaller than their permanent counterparts
The roots of deciduous teeth are relatively long in relation to the crown

26
Q

What are peg teeth and where do they generally occur?

A

Abnormally formed supernumerary teeth

Occur in the canine and incisor regions

27
Q

Supernumerary teeth may also result from the formation of what?

A

A third set of teeth

The primary teeth fall out at the normal time two new rows of teeth (outermost being the adult teeth) grow

28
Q

What is the joining of two developing teeth that have different tooth buds?

A

Fusion

29
Q

What is it called when a tooth bud is partially divided in the attempt to form two teeth?

A

A gemini tooth

30
Q

How do you differentiate between fusion and gemini teeth?

A

A radiograph is necessary

31
Q

What does a fusion tooth look like on a radiograph?

A

Two roots will be seen with fused teeth

32
Q

What does a gemini tooth look like on a radiograph?

A

One root with twin crowns

33
Q

What is a dilacerated root?

A

An abnormally formed root

34
Q

How is a dilacerated root caused?

A

Trauma during the tooth’s development or a genetic condition
