Instrument for Supragingival cleaning
Scaler
Instrument for Subgingival cleaning
curette
Alveolar mucosa
The less densely keratinized gingival tissue covering the bone.
Buccal
Toward the outside of the teeth, usually toward the cheeks
Carnassial Teeth
Shearing tooth that is the upper P4 and lower M1 of the dog and cat.
Cementum
Bonelike connective tissue that attaches the periodontal ligament to the tooth.
Dental Float
Creating a level occlusal surface
Dentifrice
paste or powder for cleaning the teeth.
Epulis
any tumor like enlargement situated on the gingival or alveolar mucosa.
Faucitis
inflammation of the tissues behind the teeth in the back of the oral cavity
Furcation
The area in which the roots join the crown
Lymphocytic Plasmacytic Stomatitis
Inflammation of the mucous lining
Oronasal fistula
An abnormal opening between the oral and nasal cavities
Tertiary dentin
forms as a reaction to stimulation, including caries, wear and fractures. Therefore, a mechanism for a tooth to ‘heal’, with new material formation protecting the pulp chamber and ultimately protects the tooth and individual against abscesses and infection
