Q

why is dentine sensitive to pain if enamel layer is breached

A

because the dentine
consists of microtubules within a 70% hydroxyapatite matrix, which contains fluid.
Stimuli including heat, cold, air, drilling and mechanical which causes a rapid flow of
fluid within the dentine tubules will transmit pain.

Q

simple tooth

one root

33
Q

hypsodont teeth have a ____ crown in relation to roots

high

34
Q

hypsodont teeth eruption time

A

can take a long time to fully erupt

may display continual eruptions

35
Q

hypsodont teeth crown is covered in

A

cementum and enamel, and enamel also extends into the root; enables more wear and tear on the teeth

36

hypsodont teeth; as surface wears, pulp cavity may become exposed, this is sealed with

A

secondary/ tertiary dentine

37
Q

function of incisors

A
  • cutting off pieces of food
  • typically 3/3
  • brachydont in most species
  • important for grooming
38
Q

function of canines

A
  • grasping and/or offence and defence
  • very deep rots
  • lower is rostral to upper
  • brachydont
39
Q

function of cheek teeth (molar and premolars)

A
  • often have a complex surface area, for slicing, grinding or crushing
  • brachydont in carnivores and omnivores
  • hypsodont in herbivores
40
Q

difference between premolars and molars

A

premolars have a deciduous, molars do not

41
Q

dental formula for dogs U/L

A

2( I 3/3 C1/1 P 4/4 M 2/3)= 42

42
Q

dental formula for cats

A

2( I 3/3 C 1/1 P 3/2 M 1/1) = 30

43
Q

carnassial teeth

A

used for cutting and sheering
in cats and dogs it is the last premolar in upper jaw and first molar in lower jaw

so dogs P4/ M1
cats P3/ M1

44
Q

dog deciduous teeth dental formula

A

2 ( i 3/3 c 1/1 p 3/3) = 28

45
Q

cat deciduous teeth dental formula

A

2( i 3/3 c 1/1 p 3/2) = 26

46
Q

are there deciduous molars

A

no

47
Q

which side does the developing permanent tooth grow on

A

on lingual side of deciduous tooth

48
Q

what happens to deciduous teeth roots when the permanent teeth grow in

A

odontoclasts resorb the root of deciduous teeth, breaking down the hard tissue and releasing the minerals

49
Q

describe how ankyloses of deciduous tooth can cause issues

A

If the repair process of
prevails over resorption process of deciduous teeth, the deposition of cementum‐like tissue may cause the tooth
to ankylose or fuse to the surrounding bone, resulting in the loss of the periodontal ligament. This prevents the tooth from falling out and impedes proper growth of the
permanent tooth. This process – ankyloses ‐ may also occur with adult teeth and
impede extractions.

50
Q

in dogs incisors have how many roots

A

a single long root

51
Q

in dogs how do the incisor crowns differ in upper and lower jaw

A
  • upper incisor crown is tricupsid (have 3 points)
  • lower incisor crown is bicupsid (have 2 points)
52
Q

canine teeth in dogs have how many roots

A

one single root, much longer than the crown, curved into alveolus and laterally compressed

53
Q

cusps of premolars in dogs

A

form a discontinuous serrated cutting edge

54
Q

cusps of molars in dogs

A

have cutting potential but mostly for crushing

55
Q

cheek teeth have how many roots in dogs

A
  • first premolars and lower thirds molars have 1 root
  • P4 (large carnassial tooth) and upper M1 and M2 have 3 roots; mesiolingual, mesiovestibular and distal
  • rest of cheek teeth including lower carnassial (M1) have 2 roots; mesial and distal

summary:
Upper cheek teeth:
One tooth with one
root, two teeth with two
roots, three teeth with
three roots

Lower cheek teeth:
First and last tooth
with one root, rest with
two roots

56
Q

how to remove a tooth

A

you release the gum from the neck of the tooth, then use a bur to cut the tooth all the way down to the fornication.
You can then extract each root individually. It’s also important to know the location of
the facial nerves and blood vessels that run through both the mandible and maxilla,
as you want to avoid causing nerve damage.

57
Q

cheek teeth in cats roots

A
  • first premolars have 1 root
  • rest have 2 roots
  • except P3 the upper carnassial has 3 roots
58
Q

tooth root abnormalities, overcrowding, missing teeth, malocclusion, compaction

59
Q

tooth surfaces;

A
  • occlusal; chewing surface of tooth
  • lingual/ palatal faces inward towards tongue
  • vestibular/ buccal/ labial; towards cheek
  • mesial; forward side of tooth, found on in between surface of tooth next to it
  • distal; back side of tooth
60
