Answer 6

15 - 20 mg per cat sq every 3 - 6 weeks

Question 7

The bulk of most teeth is composed of ___, what is the main component of this substance?

Answer 7

Dentin, calcium hydroxyapatite

Question 8

primary dentin

Answer 8

• circumpulpal + mantle
• laid during formation of crown and root

-before eruption

Question 9

secondary dentin..

Answer 9

• normally formed throughout adulthood
• produced more slowly than primary dentin
• formed after tooth eruption

Question 10

tertiary dentin

Answer 10

reparative dentin

irreglar dentin formed in response to abnormal stimuli - reactionary dentin

Question 11

Dentin is formed by

Answer 11

odontoblasts, cells lining the pulp cavity

Question 12

How is dentin formed

Answer 12

odontoblasts lay down collagenous matrix known as predentin, which mineralizes and forms dentin

Question 13

What technique is used to improve adhesion of composite resin restorative to tooth?

Answer 13

• mechanical interlock
• Enamel should be etched with phosphoric acid
• Dentin may or may not need etching
• apply bonding agent
• apply unfilled resin and light cure

Question 14

How long should enamel be etched for

Answer 14

30 - 60 seconds

Question 15

What is purpose of “etch”

Answer 15

• remove smear layer
• open dentinal tubules

-allowing improved penetration of restorative

Question 16

over-etching

Answer 16

• destroys integrety of the dentinal tubules

- weakens bond strength

Question 17

purpose of bonding agent in tooth restoration

Answer 17

-create link between enamel and dentin (hydrophilic) and the dental adhesive resins which are hydrophobic

Question 18

What is a float?

Answer 18

used to remove sharp enamel points from buccal maxillary teeth and lingual mandibular teeth and to correct abnormalities such as tall teeth, hooks, ramps, and breaks and to round mesial aspect of second premolars

Question 19

If cat has regurgitant systolic murmur, heard best over sternum and a gallop rhythym, what type of preanesthetic work up should you do?

Answer 19

1. CBC, chem, UA,

2. cardiac work up with EKG, Echocardiogram, BP and thoracic rads

Question 20

Answer 21

excisional procedure to remove soft tissue wall of periodontal pocket

Question 22

Methods of gingivectomy

Answer 22

• gingivectomy knives
• cold steel surgical blade
• electrosurgery
• laser
• round bur

How fast does epithelial migration over gingival wound occur?

Answer 23

one day for every 0.5 -1 mm covered

Question 24

when is a gingivectomy recommended

Answer 24

• pseudopockets

- gingival hyperplasia

Question 25

When is it contraindicated to do a gingivectomy?

Answer 25

- infrabony defects where incomplete pocket removal and reverse architecture would result - narrow band of attached gingiva -bone overgrowth is the problem

Question 26

What is order of weakness of gold, steel, titanium, nickel chrome

Answer 28

from strong to weak: Titanium>nickelchrome>steel>gold.

Question 29

is gold crown better than non precious alloy

Answer 29

no, it is too soft for working dogs

Question 30

Is there such an alloy as cobalt-chrome-molybdenum for a working dog crown?

Answer 30

yes, these have been very successful, it is very hard alloy, corrosion resistant, hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and inexpensive
