Permanent adult teeth in canines erupt between _-_ months and _-_ months in cats
3-7; 3-6
26
Clinical symptoms associated with oral issues
pawing at mouth, dropping or walking away from food after first bite, rubbing face on furniture, showing aggression when touched on face
27
Extraoral exam includes:
head, face, eyes, ears, and neck
28
Intraoral exam is done under anesthesia and examines
soft tissues of oral cavity, dental structures, periodontium
29
what is CUPS
chronic ulcerative paradental stomatitis; painful condition that dogs can exhibit. P's with CUPS often have profound inflammation at the gingiva, buccal and palatal mucosa, lip tissue, tongue tissue caused by bacteria in plaque
30
Rugae are more closely positioned in _ dogs
brachycephalic
31
Periodontal probes are used for
measuring, assessing mobility, assessing gingival bleeding
32
dental explorers are used to explore the _ of the tooth
topography
33
tactile sensitivity is achieve with the explorer when the flexible working end of the explorer _ as it detects surface irregularities
vibrates
34
Dental explorers can be used to detect:
surface irregularities, completeness of debridement, smooth transitions of fillings
35
intraoral radiographs are _
essential
36
Most common digital radiography for dentals
Direct radiography (DR)
37
Which radiography technique minimizes distortion
bisecting angle technique
38
with the paralleling radiography technique, the x-ray machine is aimed parallel to
the long axis of the tooth
39
Is the periodontal ligament space radiopaque or radiolucent
radiolucent
40
Periodontium structures
periodontal ligament, gingival connective tissue, alveolar bone forming tooth socket, cementum
41
Periodontitis is
accumulation of plaque and body's response to it
42
Plaque becomes mineralized adherent calculus after _ hours if not removed
24
43
Periodontal debridement is a nonsurgical instrumentation focusing on removal of
hard and soft deposits from supra gingival and sub gingival surfaces, and disrupt bacteria within the sulcus
44
Safety precautions for personnel during power scaling
wear gloves, high bacterial filtration mask, eye protection, gown or scrub top
45
Safety precautions for patient during power scaling
-lubricate/cover p's eyes -intubate P and ensure cuff is fully inflated and check during procedures
46
Universal: broad tips are used for _ and _ deposits
medium and heavy
47
Slim tips are used for
sub gingival pockets and furcation areas
48
Replace power scaling tips when worn down _ mm
2
49
Amplitude in power scaling is the
distance tip moves in one cycle
50
Why is water usage important during power scaling
prevent pulp damage due to heat
51
3 parts of dental instruments
handle, shank, working end
52
Examination instruments
probes and explorers
53
Scaling instruments
cruets, scalers, files, hoes
54
Principles of scaling:
-Adaptation (application of cutting edge against tooth) -Angulation (relationship of face of instrument to tooth) -Stroke (explorer, work, root planing)
55
Dull instruments can _ calculus
burnish
56
Polish each tooth for only _-_ seconds
3-5
57
Benefits of regional nerve blocks for oral sx
preemptive and postop analgesia, decreased concentration of inhalant anesthetic gas
58
3 basic uses of nerve blocks
splash block, local anesthesia, regional anesthesia
59
Infraorbital nerve block: tip of needle on
ipsilateral maxilla
60
Middle mental nerve block:
ipsilateral rostral lower lip from labial frenulum
61
Inferior alveolar nerve block : soft tissue/bone. _ may be preferred
lidocaine
62
Maxillary nerve block
entire maxillary quadrant on buccal and palatal sides
63
Grade 1 periodontal tx
routine cleaning, increased home care
64
Grade 2 periodontal tx
root debridement, sub gingival currettage
65
Grade 3 periodontal tx
root debridement, gingival currettage, sx
66
Grade 5 periodontal tx
extraction
67
closed extractions are performed on
single rooted teeth or severe periodontal disease
68
No hard food or treats for _ days postop exodontics
14
69
Endodontics is the study and tx of
inside of tooth (pulp) and periodical tissue (at apex of tooth root)
70
What does restorative dentistry do
restores or maintains tooth's structure and function
71
Tooth resorption is common in
cats
72
Class 1 malocclusion
Jaw length normal, one or more teeth in abnormal position
73
Class 2 malocclusion
mandibular distoclusion, mandible shorter than maxilla

75
Wry bite
maxillary-mandibular asymmetry
76
Examples of mesocephalic or mesaticephalic dogs
beagles, labs
77
dolichocephalic breeds
sight hounds, siamese cats
78
interceptive orthodontics is
extraction of adult teeth that are causing or will cause malocclusion problems (ex: persistent deciduous teeth) remove entire tooth root
79
Tertiary dentin is produced in reaction to
various stimuli, such as attrition, caries, or a restorative dental procedure
80
Complicated fracture is when the _ is exposed
pulp
81
Common malignant oral tumor in cats
squamous cell carcinoma
82
common benign oral tumor in canines

83
Other common oral neoplasia in dogs
malignant melanoma, SCC, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma
84
What is stomatitis
diffuse inflammation of entire oral cavity
85
