Oral/tooth surface
Define the symphyseal separation types:
Type I
Type II
Type III
Ch 30
Type I - no soft tissue laceration
Type II - soft tissue laceration present
Type III - soft tissue trauma, comminution, exposed bone and fractured teeth
What are the key mediators of wound healing?
Ch 1
Platelet derived growth factors (PDGFs)
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-Beta)
What cell type regulates formation of granulation tissue?
Ch 1
Macrophages
What is the primary difference between oral and extraoral re-epithelialization?
Ch 1
Oral epithelial cells migrate directly onto the moist, exposed surface of the fibrin clot instead of under dry exudate of dermis
Alveolar osteitis occurs when…
Ch 1
The extraction site blood clot fails to form or disintegrates
Likelihood of wound infection increases substantially when bacteria proliferate to levels greater than…

True or false - the term antibiotic refers only to natural compounds of microbial origin?
Ch 3
True
Verstraete Chapter 3 on antibiotics reports that for each minute in orthopedic surgery involving stainless steel plating the risk of infection increases by what percent?
Ch 3
2%
What are the positive benefits of local anesthesia mentioned in Verstraete Chapter 3?
Ch 3
Suppresses cortisol and catecholamine levels
Reduces muscle breakdown postoperatively
The AVDC antibiotics use position statement indicates that antibiotics should be used in what cases?
Ch 3
“For animals that are immune compromised, have underlying systemic disease (such as clinically evident cardiac, hepatic, and renal diseases) and/or when severe oral infection is present.”
What are the most common bacterial causes of canine infective endocarditis in order of frequency?
Ch 3
Staphylococcus spp
Streptococcus spp
Escherichia coli
Bartonella (affects almost exclusively the aortic valve)
In people the prevalence of bacteremia following third molar surgery was 67% at 15 minutes after finishing oral manipulations. This prevalence is almost as high as that for daily living true or false?
Ch 3
True
True or false: Most veterinary studies do not support the association between bacterial endocarditis and either dental/oral surgery or oral infections in dogs.
Ch 3
True
What is the only cardiac disease statistically shown to predispose dogs to infective endocarditis?
Ch 3
subaortic stenosis
True or false: There is no evidence that dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease have increased risk of infective endocarditis
Ch 3
True - use of prophylactic antibiotics prior to dental procedures for dogs with MVD controversial, further studies needed
Examples of clean contaminated oral surgeries
Ch 3
Noninfected dental extraction
Bone grafting
Orthognathic surgery
Infection rate of contaminated surgeries when antibiotics not used
Ch 3
20-30%
