P33 - Alimentary Part 2 Flashcards
dental lamina proliferates into 3 embryonic structures
- enamel organ
- dental papilla
- dental follicle
enamel organ gives rise to ____ which is produced by ____
- enamel
- ameloblasts
dental pulp formed from _____ tissue enclosed by __-___ dental lamina
- mesenchymal
- cup-shaped
dentin formed by _____ which continuously renew dentin matrix throughout life of tooth
- odontoblasts
dental follicle gives rise to cells that produce
- cementum (cementoblasts)
- bony sockets (osteoblasts)
- periodontal ligament (fibroblasts)
malocclusions are
- congenital malformations of the mandible/maxilla
- failure of upper and lower incisors to oppose due to abnormal jaw conformation
malocclusions are common in what breeds
- brachycephalic breeds
prognathism
- protrusion of mandible (underbite)
brachygnathism
- shortening of mandible (overbite)
malocclusions of teeth in rodents and rabbits may lead to
- locked jaw
- ingrown teeth
tooth agenesis
- tooth fails to develop
anodontia
- no teeth
oligodontia
- too few teeth
supernumerary tooth
- extra tooth develops
polyodontia
- too many teeth
dentigerous cyst
- results from dental dysgenesis
viral infection of ameloblasts most commonly by
- canine distemper virus
segmental enamel hypoplasia is a viral infection of
- ameloblasts
segmental enamel hypoplasia infection must occur before
- enamel formation is completed
- before 6 months of age
feline external resorptive neck lesions also known as
- feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions
feline external resorptive neck lesions caused by
- ondotoclastic resorption of cementum at neck area and root
- reabsorb minerals from tooth
feline external resorptive neck lesions result in
- external neck cavities (caries) -> secondarily harbor bacterial plaques that result in further decay and inflammation
