YR3 7 AS HO1 - Oral Cavity Flashcards
Name some congentital anomalies of the oral cavity
Cleft palate & harelip, Brachygnathia (superior & inferior), Prognathism, Agnathia, Epitheliogenesis imperfecta and Epidermolysis bullosa
Cleft palate (congenital) definition
Palatoschiosis - failure of fussion of the lateral palentine processes (can also be caused by toxin)
Cleft palate (congenital) sequelae
1) Starvation due to inability to creat a negative pressure in the mouth > failure to suckle 2) Aspiration pneumonia due to no separation between mouth and nasal cavities
Hare Lip (congenital) definition
Cheiloschiosis - failure of fussion of the upper lip along the midline or philtrum
Brachygnathia superior (congenital) definition
Shortness of the maxilla (Pig mouth) - Common in Dog, Pig
Brachygnathia inferior (congenital) definition
Shortness of the mandible (Bird mouth) - Common in Calves
Prognathism (congenital) definition
Abnormal prolongation of the mandibles - Common in Sheep
Agnathia (congenital) definition
Absence of the mandibles - Common anomaly in lambs
Epitheliogenesis imperfecta (congenital) definition
Widespread defects in the cutaneous epithelium, which also affects the epithelial lining of the tongue - Genetic; Cattle, Horses, Pigs
Epidermolysis bullosa (congenital) definition
Blistering of the skin in response to trauma - Genetic; Collie, Suffolks, South Down
Recall: What are the two congenital defects of the lip
Pataloschiosis & Cheiloschiosis
Recall: What are the four congenital defects of the jaw
Brachygnathia superior, brachygnathia inferior, prognathism and agnathia
Recall: What are two congenital defects of the tongue
Epitheliogenesis inferfecta and epidermolysis bullosa
Name some teeth anomalies
Dentigerous cysts, enamel hypoplasia, pigmentation and odontodystrophies
Dentigerous cyst definition
Epithelial-lined cystic structures in tissue, including the bone of the jaw due to dental dysgenesis
Dentigerous cyst sequelae
In horses, can result in painful fistulous tracts in the temporal region, rostral & ventral to the ear
Enamel hypoplasia definition
Lack of enamel of permanent - Causes; Canine distemper and necrosis of ameloblasts of permanent teeth before eruption, BVD or flurosis in Cattle.
Pigmentation definition
Chemicals which cause permenent discolouration of teeth - Cause; Tetracycline, congenital porphyria
Odontodystrophy definition
Abnormalities occurring during the period of tooth eruption
List six other tooth abnormalities
Abnormal attrition, plaque, calculus, caries, pulpitis and periodontal disease
Abnormal attrition definiton
Age associated dental wear results in improper mastication of feedstuff and malnutrition - Common in Horses referred to as “step mouth”
Calculus definition
Tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque. It is caused by the continual accumulation of minerals from saliva on plaque on the teeth
Caries definition
Tooth decay or cavity is an infection, bacterial acids that cause demineralisation and destruction of the hard tissues
Plaque definition
A pale yellow biofilm that develops naturally on teeth
Pulpitis definition
Inflammation of dental pulp tissue
Peridontal disease definition
Destruction of gingivial tissues and periodontal ligament by bacterial films residing on tooth surfaces.
Malocclusion definition
Misalignment of teeth
Glossal fimbrae definition
Fleshy, flat, 5-10mm epithelial projections from the edge of the tongue - Common; Newborn Piglets
What are the eight different types of inflammation of the oral cavity
Cheilitis (lip), Periodontitis (structures around the teeth), Pyorrhoea (teeth sockets), Gingivitis (gums), Glossitis (tongue), Stomatitis (mucous lining of the stracturs of the mouth), Pharyngitis (pharynx), Tonsilitis (tonsils)
What are the nine variations of inflammation that can occur in the mouth
Papular, vesicular, erosive, ulcerative, catarrhal, purulent, diphtheritic, necrotic, granulomatous
Give some examples of oral inflammation in cats
Eosinophilic granuloma, plasma cell pharyngitis, ulcerative glossitis in cat with snuffles
Give some examples of oral inflammation in dogs
Canine uraemia
Give some example of oral inflammation in horses
Follicular pharyngitis
Erosion definition
Loss of all or part of the thickness of the epidermis
Ulcer definition
Loss of epidermis & at least the superficial portion of dermis
Epilus definition
Gingival mass in the premolar/molar region. It can be hyperplastic/inflammaory/neoplastic. Originate from rest of Malassez. Two types are fibro-osseous (bone formation - the most common type) and Acanthamatous (destructive)
Give some example of tumors of dental origin
Epulis, odontoma, oral papilloma, squamous cell carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, sarcoma, melanoma
Melanoma definition
Malignant tumour of melanocytes
List five vesicular (stomatitides) disease
Foot-and-Mouth disease, Vesicular Stomatitis, Vesicular exanthema of swine, Swine Vesicular disease, Furocoumarins in parsnip leaves & celery
FMD is caused by what
Picornavirus
