Oral Surgery Flashcards
In Peralta’s 2015 study “Non-radiation-related osteonecrosis of the jaws in dogs: 14 cases (1996-2014),” how many dogs had a history of recent previous dental extractions and how many of those dogs had at least 1 ONJ site that conincided with areas of recent dental extractions?
Frontiers 2015
Recent previous dental extractions: 11/14 dogs
at least 1 ONJ site that coincided with areas of recent extractions: 10/11 dogs
When do non-absorbable sutures need to be removed?
7-21 days
What are the two phases that suture absorption occurs in chromic gut?
Collagenolysis and proteolytic enzyme digestion and absorption
What are the pros and cons to chromic gut?
Good handling ability and knot security
Poor tissue response –> moderate to severe inflammation, especially cats; premature resorption in tissue that is infected, inflamed, or very vascular; can induce allergic reaction in cats especially ones with stomatitis!
How are ALL synthetic sutures degraded?
Hydrolysis, which results in more predictable absorption times
What is Polyglactin 910 and when is there no detectable tensile strength left?
Vicryl, 28 days
What is monocryl?
Polyglecaprone 25
What has the longest complete absorption in absorbable suture?
PDS at 182 days
What are sutures that are contraindicated in the mouth?
Nonabsorbable sutures like nylon and polypropylene, and PDS
Poliglecaprone maintains what percent of its tensile strength for 7 days and when is it completely degraded by?
Pegg “Clinical Evaluation of Intraoral Suture Patterns Using Poliglecaprone 25 in Greyhound Dogs,” JVD 2022
maintains 50-60% of tensile strength through 7 days
Completely degraded by hydrolysis after 91-119 days
In Pegg’s 2022 article “Clinical Evaluation of Intraoral Suture Patterns Using Poliglecaprone 25 in Greyhound Dogs,” what differences exisited between SI and SC for dehiscence and tissue inflammation, and what teeth experienced sig more dehiscence than any other?
JVD 2022, Issue 2
A
No significant difference between dehiscence scores based on suture pattern
Stat sig increase in inflammation per suture for SI pattern between rechecks 1 and 2
SC faster to apply
When patterns compared at a site → trend observed for SI to have higher dehiscence scores
Mandibular canine teeth sig more likely to dehisce
6 of the 7 sites with major dehiscence occurred with the SI pattern
In Pegg’s study “Cadaveric Evaluation of Load to Failure in Canine Gingiva Apposed With Varied Suture Patterns Using Poliglecaprone 25,” which suture method was most liekly to fail?
A. Simple continuous
B. Simple continuous barbed
C. Cruciate pattern
D. Simple interrupted
JVD 2021 issue 1
B. Simple continuous barbed
In Pegg’s study “Cadaveric Evaluation of Load to Failure in Canine Gingiva Apposed With Varied Suture Patterns Using Poliglecaprone 25,” what suture pattern at what length withstood less tension?
JVD 2021
Knotless barbed at 3cm length
In Pegg’s 2021 study “Cadaveric Evaluation of Load to Failure in Canine Gingiva Apposed With Varied Suture Patterns Using Poliglecaprone 25,” what was the difference in tension at initial failure and maximum tension between simple interrupted, simple continuous and cruciate patterns?
JVD 2021
No stat sig differences
In Pegg’s 2021 study “Cadaveric Evaluation of Load to Failure in Canine Gingiva Apposed With Varied Suture Patterns Using Poliglecaprone 25,” what were the statistically significant findings?
JVD 2021
Cruciate, simple continuous, and knotless continuous barbed suture (SF) faster to perform than simple interrupted
SF more likely to fail by breakage than tissue tearing
SF withstood less tension at 3cm length
In Mulherin’s 2021 case report Unerupted “Supernumerary Mandibular Fourth Premolar in a Dog,” what imaging modalities were used to identify the location of the supernumerary tooth?
JVD 2021, Issue 3
Dental radiographs with the aid of pieces of gutta percha cone
Conventional CT without contrast
In Mulherin’s 2021 case report Unerupted “Supernumerary Mandibular Fourth Premolar in a Dog,” what was the suspected etiology of the supernumerary tooth?
JVD 2021
Reversion to ancestral condition
ruled out other potential etiologies: Mechanical splitting of tooth germ, Retention of a deciduous tooth, Genetic mutation causing formation of an additional tooth
