Unit 1- Oral Cavity Flashcards
More common to develop alimentary neoplasia
dog and cat
More common to develop infectious disease

Horse, colic
Normal oral or GI mucosa
Smooth and shiny
Pathogen entry
Ingestion most common, cough from lungs and swallowed, hematogenous, migration

Can cause cleft palate in cattle and sheep
Griseofulvin
Anti fungal that can cause cleft palate in offspring if given to queens
Death due to palatoschisis
Aspiration pneumonia as neonates are unable to suckle
Malocclussions
Failure of upper and lower incisors to properly interdigitate, result in difficulty of prehension and mastication
Brachygnathia
Shortening of inferior (lower) jaw
Prognathia
Protrusion of lower jaw
Ameloblasts
Produce enamel
Odontoblasts
Produce dentin
Canine Distemper
Respiratory and neurologic signs and affects ameloblasts, leading to enamel hypoplasia
BVD
Produces enamel hypoplasia in calves
Dental Attrition
Wear and tear, loss of tooth structure caused by mastication, more common in herbivores
Step Mouth
Abnormal wearing of teeth, uneven wear can indicate problems/pain on other side
Periodontal Disease
bacterial films and enzymes lead to enamel, gingiva, and periodontal ligament damage
Supragingival Plaque
On crown above gumline, leads to cavities
Subgingival Plaque
Below gumline, leads to chronic disease and destruction of alveolar bone
Dental Calculus
Tartar, mineralized plaque
Actinomycosis
Lumpy jaw
Actinobacillosis
Wooden tongue in ruminants, chronic stomatitis and glossitis
Actinobacillus lignieresii
Gram negative rod, creates pyogranulomatous soft tissue lesions, bacteria surrounded by eosinophils on H and E, Splendore-Hoepelli
Splendore-Hoeppli Phenomenon
Deposition of immune complexes
Thrush
Candidiasis, opportunistic fungal hyphae and yeasts affect mucous membranes in immune suppressed individuals, pseudomembranes on stratified squamous
Lingual Lesions
Manifestations of systemic disease
Uremic Glossitis
Ulcers on tongue margins due to renal failure
Viral Glossitis
BVD and foot and mouth disease in calves and steer
Lymphoplasmacytic Gingivitis, Stomatitis
Chronic periodontal disease leads to immune mediated response to bacteria in lesions
Feline Chronic Gingivo-Stomatitis
Unclear etiology, similar to lymphoplasmacytic gingivitis, FIV may be involved
Chronic Ulcerative Paradental Stomatitis
Periodontal ulcers common in older dogs
Canine Vesicular Stomatitides
Rule out immune mediated disease
Cat Vesicular Stomatitides
Calcivirus infection
Large Animal Vesicular Stomatitides
Rule out viral disease
Viral Vesicular Stomatitides
viral induced epithelial damage leads to ballooning degeneration in keratinocytes, forming bullae that can rupture and lead to ulcer
Foot and Mouth Disease Virus
Exotic and highly contagious, lesions in oral mucosa and epidermis, vesicles rupture and become ulcers, drooling and lameness, ruminants and pigs
Tiger Heart
Stripes of inflammation and necrosis in younger animals infected with foot and mouth disease, acute death without typical lesions
Epidermal FMD
Coronary bands of hooves and interdigital spaces
Rhabdovirus Vesicular Stomatitis
Ruminants, pig, and horses
Swine Vesicular Disease
Enterovirus only in pigs
Vesicular Exanthema
Calcivirus in pigs, destruction of keratinocytes and fluid accumulation forming vesicles that ulcerate on snout
Bovine Viral Diarrhea
Erosive-ulcerative stomatitides
Malignant Catarrhal Fever
Severe and prominent erosive ulcerative stomatitides, always fatal with lymphocytic necrotizing vasculitis
Bovine Papular Stomatitis
Parapoxvirus, papules on snout and oral cavity, ulceration demarcated by rings of proliferative mucosa
Contagious Ecthyma
Orf, contagious viral pustular dermatitis, proliferative sores around mouth in goat and sheep
Oral Necrobacillosis
Necrotizing stomatitis from Fusobacterium necrophorum in cattle, sheep, and swine
Calf Diphtheria
Oral necrobacillosis in calves, ulvcerative necrotizing inflammation of buccal, pharyngeal, and laryngeal mucosa

Nodular, teeth can become buried in lesions, common in older brachycephalic dogs, boxers
Epulis
Fibromatous or ossifying benign tumor of periodontal ligament and dental mesenchyme
Acanthomatous ameloblastoma
Locally aggressive and recurring tumors, previously classified as epulis
Canine Oral Papillomatosis
Papillomavirus induce lesions in lips and oral mucosa, transient and regresses with age
Histology of Canine Papillomatosis
