In JVD 2014 dental wax decreases calculus accumulation in small dogs by Smith and Smithson, by what percentage did calculus decrease on the treated side?
22.1%
No significant difference between plaque and gingivitis on treated vs untreated sides
In foundations, the air driven dental unit form and function by Jane Pegg, at what pressure does the air come into the pressure regulator? And what pressure does it reduce it to before it goes to the hand piece?
80 PSI
40 PSI
In foundations, the air driven dental unit form and function by Jane Pegg, what drives a low speed hand piece?
Rotary vane motor
In essentials components of the dental unit by Jane Pegg, what does a green color band on the gearing ratio mean? Blue or no color? Red?
Green = reduction
Blue/no color = no gear ratio
Red = increase
In foundations, the air driven dental unit form and function by Jane Pegg, what speed does the air rotate the drive shaft in a low speed hand piece?
20,000-40,000 rpm
In foundations, the air driven dental unit form and function by Jane Pegg, at what speed does air rotate the turbine in a high speed hand piece?
350,000-400,000 rpm
How is the Loe and Silness index scores for gingivitis calculated?
Each tooth is divided into vertical thirds and the three site scores are averaged
How is the Logan and Boyce index for plaque calculated?
Divide the tooth into horizontal haves and average of the sites both for plaque coverage and thickness after disclosing.
How is the Warrick and Gorrel scoring method for calculus performed?
Divide the tooth into horizontal halves, and then average the sites for coverage and thickness

What was the outcome on plaque index?
Significantly reduced at the 90 in the A. nodusum group
In “effects of edible treats, containing Ascophyllum nodosum on the oral health of dogs, a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled single center study” in frontiers in 2018:
What was the effect on calculus index?
Significantly reduced at all time points in the a. nodusum group
In “effects of edible treats, containing Ascophyllum nodosum on the oral health of dogs, a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled single center study” in frontiers in 2018:
What was the effect on VSC levels?
24% lower day 30, significantly lower days 60 (35%) and 90 (46%) in the a. nodusum group
In “effects of edible treats, containing Ascophyllum nodosum on the oral health of dogs, a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled single center study” in frontiers in 2018:
What was the effect on the oral health index?
No statistically significant difference between the groups
In “effects of edible treats, containing Ascophyllum nodosum on the oral health of dogs, a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled single center study” in frontiers in 2018:
What is notable about using a. nodusum that may impact your patients?
High iodine concentration
Dogs with normal thyroid function should do fine
In “effects of Weissella cibaria CMU on halitosis and calculus, plaque and gingivitis indices on beagles” by Do et al in JVD 2019
W. cibaria was effective in reducing halitosis via what mechanism?
Inhibiting the production of CH3SH (methyl mercaptan)
