Q

discuss the difference in jaw bones of herbivores vs carnivores and why they make a difference to chewing action for their respective diets

A

in herbivores: longer vertical ramus radius gives more even occlusion in herbivores
in carnivores: shorter vertical ramus radius produces scissor action in carnivores

Q

what is the gingiva

A

gums - tissue surrounding base of teeth and covering jaws
mucoperiosteum -> the oral mucosa is firmly attached to the underlying periosteum

24
Q

what is the crown

A
  • visible/supragingival part of tooth
  • includes enamel: hard smooth outer layer
  • dentine: hard tubules under enamel
  • pupl cavity
  • coronal to cemento-enamel junction
25
Q

what is the root

A
  • part under gingiva
  • cementum: bit that holds the tooth into the root
  • dentine
  • root canal
  • apex-apical delta
  • single and multi rooted
  • divergent mechanical attachment
  • apical to cemento-enamel junction
26
Q

label the parts of the tooth

A

A
28
Q

what is enamel and discuss

A
  • hardest biological substance
  • 97% hydroxyapatite
  • acellular
  • no collagen (have specialized support proteins)
  • no repair possible but enamel calcium is in equilibrium with salivary caclium
  • dissolves in acid
  • only on crown
  • not always present
29
Q

what is dentine

A
  • living tissue
  • contains odontoblasts which produce the dentine tubules
  • primary, secondary and tertiary dentine
30
Q

what are odontoblasts

A

produce dentine tubules

31
Q

discuss the differences between primary secondary and tertiary dentine

A

primary:
- most of dentine
- formed as the tooth grows
- mineralized collagen

secondary:
- grows slowly on daily basis
- formed after eruption
- makes pulp cavity smalle as it is made
- brown ish colour distinguishes older animal

tertiary:
- formed in reaction to damage
- irregular structure
- helps to fill in damage

32
Q

what is pulp

A
  • in the pulp cavity
  • contains blood vessels, lymph and nerves
  • secondary dentine deposition leads to it narrowing with age
33
Q

what is cementum

A
  • similar to bone
  • peripheral to dentine or enamel
  • attachment for periodontal fibres
  • completely covers herbivore teeth (because continuously errupt)
34
Q

what is a closed root

A
  • root apex closed off = do not grow once formed
  • teeth either then erupt slowly and continuously once reached max adult length OR erupt to a fixed height and do not erupt further
35
Q

what is an open root

A
  • root apex is open and tooth grows continuously
  • teeth continually grow and erupt
  • rodents for example
36
Q

what is the periodontinum and what does it consist of

A

supporting structure for teeth
- alveolar bone/lamina dura
- periodontal ligament
- cementum
- gingiva

37
Q

what features of the gingiva

A
  • squamous epithelium
  • dense fibrous layer
  • closely bound to the periodteum
  • reflects at the cemento-enamel junction to form a pocket (gingival sulcus)
38
Q

what is the periodontal ligament

A
  • series of angled collagen fibres (at right angle to tooth)
  • supports the tooth
  • sock absorber
  • spreads load into whole socket
39
Q

discuss tooth development

A
  1. line of epithelial cells condenses along the jaw margins
  2. invaginate to form a dental bud
  3. the epithelial cells become ameloblasts and form enamel
  4. bud in-folds to form a dental cap under which neural crest-derived mesenchyme form a dental papilla
  5. the mesenchymal cells become odontobalsts and form dentine
  6. cap remains connected to epithelium via a cord of cells which give off-shoots to further buds
  7. mesenchyme around the bud forms a vascular dental sac
  8. inner layer forms cementoblasts which make cementum
  9. outer layer forms osteoblasts which form the alveolar bone
  10. enamel organ comprises stellate reticulum plus ameloblasts (inner enamel epithelium) and outer enamel epithelium
40
Q

discuss tooth eruption in horses

A
  • teeth erupt as they grow
  • roots close later in life
  • teeth grow and wear most rapidly in first 5 years after eruption
  • means up to 9 years old there is higher risk of points being formed
41
Q

discuss arterial supply to the teeth

A

each arcade has own arterial supply
major ones burried inside bone

42
Q

clinical significant of major palatine artery

A

runs along hard palate - can be damaged during extraction of upper teeth

43
Q

the maxilla is supplied by which nerve

A

infraorbital nerve (branch of maxillary branch of trigeminal)
- enters maxilary foramen
- sensory branches to tooth roots
- exits at infraorbital formen

44
Q

what nerve supplies the mandible

A

mandibular nerve (branch of trigeminal)
- enters mandibular foramen
- travels in mandibular canal
- sensory branches to tooth roots
- also motor to jaw muscles

45
Q

list major dental nerve block sites of the maxilla

A
46
Q

list dental nerve bloc sites on the mandible

A
47
Q

discuss the temporo-mandibular joint

A
  • synovial joint
  • hinge joint but also has lateral movement, rostrocaudal movement and allows for grindinf and opposing of teeth
  • well developed meniscus
48
Q

what is the triadan system

A

way to label teeth

49
Q

how many teeth do cats have

A

30

50
Q

how many teeth do dogs have

A

42`

51
Q

what is the dental formula for dogs

A

upper: 3.1.4.2
lower: 3.1.4.3
meaning upper has 3 incisors, 1 canine 4 premolars and 2 molars

i.c.p.m

52
Q

what is the dental formula for cats

A

3.1.3.1
3.1.2.1

i.c.p.m

53
Q

is the carnissial tooth a molar or premolar on the upper arcade? lower?

A
  • premolar on upper
  • molar on lower
54
Q

discuss aging in horse teeth

A
55
Q

what are tushes

A
  • equine canine teeth
  • brachydont
  • permanent
  • in stallions and geldings (rarely females)
  • no clinical problems
  • sometimes calculus build up with age needs to be removed
56
Q

what are wolf teeth

A
  • first premolar of upper jaw in horses
  • rarely first premolar of lower jaw
  • redundant regressed teeth
  • in both sexes
  • appear at 3-5 years if at all
  • small ones wobble and interfere with the bit so need to be removed under sedation
  • large ones can be left in if stable
