Q

why is dentine sensitive to pain if enamel layer is breached

A

because the dentine
consists of microtubules within a 70% hydroxyapatite matrix, which contains fluid.
Stimuli including heat, cold, air, drilling and mechanical which causes a rapid flow of
fluid within the dentine tubules will transmit pain.

24
When the jaws come together, how does the lower canine sit in relation to the upper canine? rostral or caudal
rostral
25
The dental formula counts each type of tooth in each half of the jaw. The first number is the number of that type of tooth in which jaw?
upper
26
The premature loss of deciduous teeth can lead to which of the following?
Malocculsion due to disorganised permanent teeth
27
Which surface of the tooth faces towards the cheek?
buccal
28
Which surface of the tooth faces towards the tongue?
Lingual
29
Quadrant 2 of a dental chart refers to which of the following?
Left upper quadrant
30
Which bone are the upper incisors embedded in?
incisive
31
Which of the following muscles opens the jaw when it contracts?
Digastric muscle
32
simple tooth
one root
33
hypsodont teeth have a ____ crown in relation to roots
high
34
hypsodont teeth eruption time
can take a long time to fully erupt may display continual eruptions
35
hypsodont teeth crown is covered in
cementum and enamel, and enamel also extends into the root; enables more wear and tear on the teeth
36
hypsodont teeth; as surface wears, pulp cavity may become exposed, this is sealed with
secondary/ tertiary dentine
37
function of incisors
- cutting off pieces of food - typically 3/3 - brachydont in most species - important for grooming
38
function of canines
- grasping and/or offence and defence - very deep rots - lower is rostral to upper - brachydont
39
function of cheek teeth (molar and premolars)
- often have a complex surface area, for slicing, grinding or crushing - brachydont in carnivores and omnivores - hypsodont in herbivores
40
difference between premolars and molars
premolars have a deciduous, molars do not
41
dental formula for dogs U/L
2( I 3/3 C1/1 P 4/4 M 2/3)= 42
42
dental formula for cats
2( I 3/3 C 1/1 P 3/2 M 1/1) = 30
43
carnassial teeth
used for cutting and sheering in cats and dogs it is the last premolar in upper jaw and first molar in lower jaw so dogs P4/ M1 cats P3/ M1
44
dog deciduous teeth dental formula
2 ( i 3/3 c 1/1 p 3/3) = 28
45
cat deciduous teeth dental formula
2( i 3/3 c 1/1 p 3/2) = 26
46
are there deciduous molars
no
47
which side does the developing permanent tooth grow on
on lingual side of deciduous tooth
48
what happens to deciduous teeth roots when the permanent teeth grow in
odontoclasts resorb the root of deciduous teeth, breaking down the hard tissue and releasing the minerals
49
describe how ankyloses of deciduous tooth can cause issues
If the repair process of prevails over resorption process of deciduous teeth, the deposition of cementum‐like tissue may cause the tooth to ankylose or fuse to the surrounding bone, resulting in the loss of the periodontal ligament. This prevents the tooth from falling out and impedes proper growth of the permanent tooth. This process – ankyloses ‐ may also occur with adult teeth and impede extractions.
50
in dogs incisors have how many roots
a single long root
51
in dogs how do the incisor crowns differ in upper and lower jaw
- upper incisor crown is tricupsid (have 3 points) - lower incisor crown is bicupsid (have 2 points)
52
canine teeth in dogs have how many roots
one single root, much longer than the crown, curved into alveolus and laterally compressed
53
cusps of premolars in dogs
form a discontinuous serrated cutting edge
54
cusps of molars in dogs
have cutting potential but mostly for crushing
55
cheek teeth have how many roots in dogs
- first premolars and lower thirds molars have 1 root - P4 (large carnassial tooth) and upper M1 and M2 have 3 roots; mesiolingual, mesiovestibular and distal - rest of cheek teeth including lower carnassial (M1) have 2 roots; mesial and distal summary: Upper cheek teeth: One tooth with one root, two teeth with two roots, three teeth with three roots Lower cheek teeth: First and last tooth with one root, rest with two roots
56
how to remove a tooth
you release the gum from the neck of the tooth, then use a bur to cut the tooth all the way down to the fornication. You can then extract each root individually. It’s also important to know the location of the facial nerves and blood vessels that run through both the mandible and maxilla, as you want to avoid causing nerve damage.
57
cheek teeth in cats roots
- first premolars have 1 root - rest have 2 roots - except P3 the upper carnassial has 3 roots
58
brachycephalic teeth
tooth root abnormalities, overcrowding, missing teeth, malocclusion, compaction
59
tooth surfaces;
- occlusal; chewing surface of tooth - lingual/ palatal faces inward towards tongue - vestibular/ buccal/ labial; towards cheek - mesial; forward side of tooth, found on in between surface of tooth next to it - distal; back side of tooth
60
dental chart (dogs)
jaws divided into 1,2,3,4 (clockwise as you look at animal so right upper is 1, left upper is 2, left lower is 3, and right lower is 4) next 2 numbers refer to position; central incisor is 01, canines are 04, premolars are 05-08, molars are 09-11
61
which bones are the teeth in
- upper incisors are in incisive bone - all other upper teeth are in maxilla - all lower teeth in mandible
62
brachygnathic
mandible too short ie overbite parrot-mouthed
63
prognathic
mandible too long ie underbite
64
angle of the mandible should lie directly ventral to the
temporomandibular joint
65
mandible can move in ___ planes
3 most movement in herbivores for grinding canines have most movement in vertical plane for shearing and crushing
66
digastric muscle function
opening the jaw
67
digastric muscle origin and insertion
- origin; paracondylar process of the occipital bone, - insertion; Medial and ventral mandible
68
4 pairs of muscles needed for closing jaw and chewing food
temporalis, masseter, lateral and medial pterygoid muscles
69
temporali origin and insertion
origin; temporal fossa insertion; coronoid process of mandible
70
masseter origin and insertion
- origin; zygomatic arch - insertion; masseteric fossa
71
medial and lateral pterygoid origin and insertion
- origin; pterygopalatine fossa - insertion; medial mandible
72
innervation of the jaw; which nerve controls opening of mouth and muscles responsible for facial expression
facial nerve (CN VII)
73
which nerve controls closing of mouth, and is main facial sensory nerve
trigeminal nerve (CN V)

digastric muscle is innervated which 2 nerves;
