18
Q

What is the technical term for extra teeth?

A

Supernumerary teeth.

19
Q

What problems do supernumerary teeth cause?

A

Crowding and PD disease.

20
Q

In what species are supernumerary teeth more common?

A

Cats

21
Q

Which teeth are more commonly supernumerary?

A

Pm4

22
Q

How does a vet differentiate supernumerary teeth from deciduous teeth?

A

Xrays

23
Q

What is gemination?

A

The attempt by the mouth to merge 2 teeth together.

24
Q

What criteria does gemination often involve?

A

Supernumerary teeth

25
Q

What cells form and deposit enamel?

A

Ameloblasts.

26
Q

When is enamel formed and what cannot occur after eruption?

A

Before eruption. Repair.

27
Q

What can cause enamel hypoplasia?

A

Trauma to ameloblast cells prior to eruption. Ex. Hard toys.
Severe systemic infection (ex. distemper)
Hereditary conditions.
Nutritional problems.
Tetracycline drugs.

28
Q

How can trauma to the unerupted tooth occur?

A

Externally ( ex. toy ) or trauma during extraction of deciduous teeth.

29
Q

What is amelogenesis imperfecta? Which teeth and which surfaces will be involved?

A

Decreased enamel matrix applied to teeth during development. Nearly all, all surfaces.

30
Q

What defects will we see in enamel hypoplasia?

A 
Stained ( tan to dark brown)
Pitted & rough
hard surface
easy exposure of dentin and staining
increased plaque and pd disease.
No tertiary dentin
31
Q

What is the goal and method of treatment for enamel hypoplasia?

A

To remove sensitivity and avoid endodontic infection by occluding dental tubules and smoothing the tooth.
Best tx= composite application

32
Q

What is the difference between attrition and abrasion?

A

Attrition: Gradual physiological wear of enamel…ex. on occluding surfaces from wear of time.
Abrasion: Mechanical wear from toys,rocks, sticks, dental instruments etc

33
Q

What are the 3 types of dentin?

A

Primary: Forms before eruption
Secondary: Forms as tooth develops
Tertiary: Dark. Result of wear or trauma.

34
Q

When do we need to be concerned about enamel wear?

A

When there is pulp exposure and the probe catches.

35
Q

What can abrasion cause?

A

Slab fractures.

36
Q

How can we treat slab fractures?

A

Extraction or endodontics ( root canal)

37
Q

What is endodontic therapy. What does it deal with?

A

Tooth roots. Pulp capping or pulpectomy. Ex. root canal.

38
Q

What is the most common malignant oral cancer?

A

Squamous cell carcinoma.

39
Q

What is an epulis/epulid? Tx?
